The Last American Vagabond - The Fauci That Got Away, Trump's Iran Loss & Accepting The Hard Truth That Israel Controls US Policy

Starting point is 00:00:00 It starts with a simple question and ends in objective reality. Through our journey from there to here, we find one another and ourselves. And as the next 24 hours breaks free from our last, we gaze onward in reflection of the day. Thank you. Welcome to the daily wrap-up. Monday, May 11th, 2026, thank you for joining me today. But waiting for the follow-up to Fauci for quite a long time. You know, the concern that he might not be held accountable, the hope that maybe this administration, you know, in my opinion,

Starting point is 00:00:57 just does it because they want people to think that they are what they say they are, or, you know, maybe I'm wrong about them and they finally go after them. But of course, today is the day that we're supposed to see Fauci held accountable, at least the last day that that's possible to happen. Now, of course, it is at least where I'm at about 6 p.m. So I guess it's possible that something could happen before the day ends. But technically, we later were in the East Coast. But at the end of the day, I think what's pretty clear that it appears that Fauci is not going to be held accountable for all the things that everybody who believed in Trump promised he would be held accountable for. And like I said, I genuinely hoped that this person would be held accountable because I find him to be a very sinister person.

Starting point is 00:01:34 for many reasons. And it's not hyperbole. It's not based on the things I think he meant when he said X, Y, and Z. It's about things he did that we can prove that he did that we know he was involved in. And of course, Trump was involved in and Biden was involved in. And it's a very, I mean, it's a worldwide story. Not just, you know, the Fauci part of it applies to the United States. But of course, what happened in the United States had reverberating effects around the world. But we're going to go over that to start, just really to update you on where that is right now and what I think it's, you know, where it's going to go, kind of in conjunction with the, you know, awareness of what's happening within this administration that I hope leads to the awareness of what

Starting point is 00:02:12 all of our government is and not necessarily that that means the other side is somehow better, but understanding that this is kind of one of those, as, you know, as some people would call it a come to Jesus moment, right, or whatever you would call it in a non-religious sense, or technically it's not even used in that sense for a lot of people. It just means sort of like a, you know, face-to-face with, you know, basically accepting the current reality. which is some people that made that say, but it may not make sense. But overall,

Starting point is 00:02:38 it's a moment where people in this country need to start just coming to terms with what is a comfortably obvious in front of them, or some people anyway, because it's something a lot of us have fought off and we don't want to admit with ourselves. You know, the Biden's the guy,

Starting point is 00:02:52 Trump's the guy, that my team will win over the other team or that somehow they're, you know, the lesser of evils, I guess, or at the very least, that, you know, they would somewhat lead to something, you thought would amount to what you hoped for this country, even just a fraction of it. But sadly, when this is something I constantly point out, that don't even, you know, food dies.

Starting point is 00:03:15 Or we'll talk about foreign beef. Any number of examples that I'm thinking to myself, why wouldn't they just give people some of the things that they promise? Why wouldn't they just go, oh, fine. We'll upset a couple of people in the food industry that are, you know, the GMO people that want food diet, you know, whatever it is, the food dye people, the chemical companies. But we need to give them something. We're challenging everything. We're lying about everything. We're double-crossing everything.

Starting point is 00:03:38 So, you know, give them that. But nope, they double-crossing. You know, and this keeps happening. And I just keep going, how is that possible that they wouldn't just give them a couple of bones to make them go, well, well, you know, but even those people are starting to go, okay, more with Ron, more spending, blah, blah, blah, down the entire list of every single thing, right back to COVID-19 injections and Fauci. Time to wake up to that. I mean, really, just take a second and realize where we actually are.

Starting point is 00:04:04 and please do not start to pivot to some other, you know, recognize where this, what this means for the larger back and forth's reality of our government. Now, what I will get into, of course, is that overlap, like I said, and the awareness around it. I want to touch on Fauci and make sure we understand, you know, where I think it really is. And Rand Paul's, I guess, whistleblower conversation is supposed to happen two days from now and what that means in this context. I want to make a point about the hunt of virus. Now, I'm actually not going to get into it too deep today. I still hold my same opinion about it. And I'll make that clear for those that haven't seen up until now,

Starting point is 00:04:38 something we should pay attention to, something that clearly is some writing on the wall, if you will. But like I said before, it's about not doing their job for them, right? And I'll get into what I mean by that. In addition to a couple of very standout things, even just in my engagement that I think are worth pointing out. And from that overlap,

Starting point is 00:04:55 I want to make sure we bring this into the larger kind of psychological operation of a lot of this stuff and some old work from TLAV, but I also want to make sure we focus on, some of the bigger stuff today, Iran and the developments within that. But one of the real things that I'm going to focus on in the middle of the show today, or rather more larger things, is something I've talked about a lot. And I think it's important, especially right now.

Starting point is 00:05:16 And right now, again, like the first topic more than ever in my experience, which is, as I've titled today, coming to terms of whatever I said it, with the reality that Israel controls U.S. policy. Now, you can take that however you want. You can take that as a lobbying group that's so powerful that can influence politicians to do what they think is best, even if you think that's for America? Same conversation, guys. Or the many different obvious and verifiable points that we can all see on plain display today

Starting point is 00:05:42 about what Israel is doing through many mechanisms to control U.S. policy. And even if that ultimately means that these politicians believe that that is what they think they should do for America, it still is very clearly amounting to what these people paying them to think is for America. You know, it's what Americans want. and made spectacularly clear by the fact that Trump is telling them that he will give them those things are very obvious. They're not getting those things. They're getting what Israel's lobby tells them as best for America.

Starting point is 00:06:12 And there's clearly a disconnect between those things that people are obviously becoming aware of. And interesting point that overlaps with Massey will make today. But a really important point about Israel influence on this government and how that overlaps with what's going on in Iran. And it's very important with the Armageddon end times conversation, which we've talked about, I mean, probably since the first few weeks of this part of this, a lot before that too. But now it's like many things discussed on the actual genuine independent media. It becomes something that gets, you know, floated through the larger conversation for, you know, right now I was going to say briefly, but who knows how these things linger today because it's becoming more obvious,

Starting point is 00:06:53 but usually to sort of let it go. So we talked about it. we pointed to it, now we let it go. And this is the reality of exactly that, of what Israel is doing and what's influencing, as well as the fact that it's essentially fighting or using the U.S. military to fight its end time war at the expense of Americans, like a lot of us promised. And this is the point of Heg Seth and many other people in this government and military, point blank telling people in this country and the military that they are fighting, you know, fighting for God's divine plan, fighting to bring on the end times. And that this war, you know,

Starting point is 00:07:26 committing genocide, murdering innocent schoolgirls in Iran, it's all for God's will. And it made a lot of people very uncomfortable. And a lot of people spoke out. And it got basically no attention by even the corporate media who supposedly hate trapped. And all of that plays into what is currently basically spinning out in front of us around Iran. Now, one thing I want you to think about today, as usual, guys, demonstrating our value on this platform is something that we have been talking about from the very beginning, not because

Starting point is 00:07:52 we were guessing, not because, you know, there's parts which we're giving you our opinion. But look at where we are. Look at what we said about the two-party illusion. Look what we said about awareness of Israel. Look what we said about the awareness of the two-party illusion and specifically the Republican problems within the conservative awareness. Look at what we discussed about the Iran war.

Starting point is 00:08:09 And that's not unique to me in this platform. A lot of us out there were doing this. But it's usually people like this that are not given the awareness of being aware of that well before the corporate conversation, which includes the mainstream alternative media, we're even barely pointing to. They were held back in the whole, you know, many different levels of it, fighting terrorism, stopping the nuclear problem,

Starting point is 00:08:30 Iran proxies and all these different side-manipulated conversations to get you looking anywhere other than the reality. And the point is that he's lost. The U.S. government has blundered this. And it's clearly driven by Netanyahu and Israel at the expense of American interests. I think it's very obvious to see that this is now being forced upon the U.S. conversation with the Atlantic article. there's an article from Jeffrey Sachs through Al Jazeera,

Starting point is 00:08:56 all of which are making the arguments exactly like we were discussing. And again, we as a lot of people in independent media, but a smaller portion of the larger conversation right in the beginning. No, they don't have nuclear weapons. No, this is not going to end well. No, Iran is not some weak thing that's going to peter out in a couple of weeks. And here we are. And all the people that said that,

Starting point is 00:09:16 getting shouted down by all the Iran experts and all the CNN and Fox News is out there and all the mainstream alternative media platforms are now grappling with this and now acting like they're the ones breaking the story. It's such a constant thing. I'm of the mind that most people out there are becoming aware of that

Starting point is 00:09:31 and are tuning into this kind of media. Now, that's never going to be represented in the way that gets shown at the corporate media level. What we need to start recognizing is what they present on this mainstream carousel is just not the picture that represents the most of this country. The left right doesn't represent Americans, the media apparatus left and right,

Starting point is 00:09:50 mainstream alternative does not represent Americans. I know you guys see that. Very important to think about all that as we go into today because it's, I think it's an important show. I think a lot we discuss today is sort of this a moment of awareness that is developing, we're grappling with. The reason I say it that way is I've seen these happen before and it can be fought back. So my job, as I see it, is to make sure that we don't lose sight of what this is, the power that is in your hands, your ability to influence the outcome around you is stronger now than I've ever seen it. So it's time to take advantage of that.

Starting point is 00:10:26 And that's what I see my job as is to help people see what's really happening. At least as I see it, of course, I could be wrong. So on that note, talking about the, I guess, you know, independent, mainstream alternative media. That's going to say something else. But ultimately the mainstream's version that's like emulating the independent media. That's what I see all of this as, all of this main, this new mainstream alternative. thing, which is not really new. David Ike's been calling it out for a very long time,

Starting point is 00:10:54 but this horror like Benny Johnson, Alex Jones, sort of part of it. Then you got like these Twitter online versions of it, the ones we always point out. You know, the Eric Howderty, all these different people that are sort of emulating the same red light, holy crap kind of dynamic. Now, that's a new thing within that larger ongoing manipulation. And I think this is them just trying to take control of what is a growing independent media and it's failed. Very, very, very clumsily failed, but they're not going to just give up. They're going to keep pretending like they won. Look at that, just like Trump is doing everywhere in the world. It's a dying empire trait. So on the two-party illusion point of this. And I'm not going to go into this deep. I've made this

Starting point is 00:11:32 a thousand times. I'm going to continue to follow up on it because I do think it's a very, very obvious signal that they're struggling, that they're drowning in this lie. And who knows if the Benny Johnson's of the world have any idea or even care. That's not the point. It's about that this being done and through the machine. So Johnson again on the fourth says Mike Davis warns the grand conspiracy probe has potential to bring down big names. Now, this is not the ones we've been seeing where it's an old video from 2025. And they go, oh my God, it's all happening. That's all over the place still. This is new, right? So this is now based on the new clapper or rather of James, James, Comey, excuse me, the names down there mixed my mind of. James Comey and the rest of them,

Starting point is 00:12:14 like the conversation that that's coming. We now have the clap, the, James Comey one, which is about seashells on the ocean, and we should all laugh at how silly that is. Even if he meant exactly what that looks like and what you think it is, it's still not a crime. It's still free speech. And you guys are hypocrites for claiming otherwise. What's crazy is that you know that's going to fail and you still want to pretend like it succeeds, even if, well, these people don't care or no. At the point is average people, I think, can be played by that. In this case, they want you to believe it's all coming down to bring out the big names. Now, my frustration as always is they keep doing this without actually caring that nothing

Starting point is 00:12:50 ever comes to pass. But, you know, it's new, so who knows, maybe something will happen next. He predicts presidential immunity will not be an adequate defense, which I agree, but then that would mean that anybody that Trump gives a pardon to won't matter either. Play both ways. As always, I just say, well, let me know when somebody actually gets arrested, you know, because that's what we actually care about, unlike you guys. Now, this is the same one of these work, this is one of these accounts that constantly post these things every day using old videos and the same kind of idea. Skiff, war correspondent, they're all these same kind of accounts. And he goes breaking with red light. As always, that's the important stuff. FBI director cash Patel confirms both charges

Starting point is 00:13:25 against calling your felonies. Okay, cool. So you guys just made it a felony that he put seashells on the ocean or, you know, sorry, the story that he came across them and took a picture of it. Because good luck proving anything else. It's such a ridiculous game acting like, well, because he said this over here, because we know he hates Trump, therefore. that's how we know that's what happened here. Guys, it's designed to fail, or they are the worst lawyers I've ever seen in my life. Now, that's not to say, it won't happen.

Starting point is 00:13:52 Who knows, our system is corrupt as well, but understand from a reality situation, Comey should be in prison. He's a criminal, but what they're using to go after him is ridiculous. It's almost insulting to our intelligence, but who knows, we'll see where it goes. FBI Cash Patel says, James Comey allegedly threatened the life of the president of the United States.

Starting point is 00:14:09 And as you know, shortly after, posing that, posting that threat. He deleted that threat and then issued an apology. Okay, good, good luck. Thanks for all the hyperbole. Thanks for all the narrative. The point is people like this go, look, they said something. It's all coming down. Well, okay, fine. Maybe, maybe tomorrow. What about the other 75 things they said over the last two years? Nothing happened then. So why would we expect it now? You know, same old story. They don't care. These kind of accounts, I argue, don't even care. Mike Davis comes out and says, James Comey knew exactly what he was doing. He literally wrote a book on code. okay, he wrote a book on codes for political violence.

Starting point is 00:14:45 Therefore, you know for a fact that he meant that when he took that picture? No, good luck proving that. I mean, you have to understand. There's a complete disconnect between claiming he knows what these things mean, and you can prove he put those shells on the ocean. I shouldn't even have to care about this. The point is that this is about trying to cause all this flux and get people to think things are changing because they're losing.

Starting point is 00:15:03 They are spectacularly failing in front of everybody. I'm talking about the government, not left or right. President Trump post James Comey lied about clearly dropping the threats. Yeah, okay, it's all coming down. Can't wait for it to happen. James General Mike Flynn, the 2020 election was stolen, he says. We had a fake president for four years. We're still doing this.

Starting point is 00:15:22 Look, I'm not, let's just even say you absolutely can prove that at this point. Let's really take a second and ask yourselves what that means right now. Literally Trump is president. Okay, so look, if their crime was committed, go after them for it, arrest them for it. Produce your evidence, put them in prison for doing what you claim they did. The rest of this is nonsense. It is about getting you to think things and look different directions than what's currently happening.

Starting point is 00:15:44 We're talking about 2020. Are we pretending there's new evidence? If there is, why aren't they doing anything about it? Our country has yet to recover. The corporate media was complicit in the crime. Sure, we'll just give them every part of this. I agree. Everyone who used the phrase election denier, okay, rest of them all, hooray.

Starting point is 00:16:02 And you're pointing to Julie Donuts, who this is Mike Flynn captioning this while saying that like this is something happening. And she posts to this thing. This is from May 8, 2026 and says Google helped to overthrow the United States. The length, this is, you know, Zach Voorhees saying this back in 2024. Yep. So is Mike Flynn deliberately misinformed, trying to get people to think, who knows? I don't even care at this point.

Starting point is 00:16:26 I mean, I do, but in the sense of the larger things, this is an old video of Zach Borges, for those in the podcast, speaking about this stuff in 2024. Yeah, and it matters, guys. These were crimes, I argue. And both sides play this game. but let's just be specific here. They committed crimes. I agree.

Starting point is 00:16:41 He testified about this. It came out in 2024. Nothing happened. Okay, so you can either go, I'm outraged that Trump and his team didn't do anything and therefore they don't believe what I believe and therefore they're not on my side. Or you can be Julie Donuts and just keep posting it every day

Starting point is 00:16:54 and going, it's all happening while nothing happens. Your choice. And then you can be Mike Flynn and project that and give it millions of views or 700,000, when you know that all you're doing is keeping these people in a hamster wheel. You can decide if, that's what he's doing. James Woods.

Starting point is 00:17:10 Now this is funny to me because I came out recently under one of his post that was doing this and going like, hey, James, it's almost like you don't actually care that nobody's being arrested, like the rest of us do. You know, like you keep going, look, do something or rather they're going to go down without anything actually happening and then you never follow up and go, hey, why didn't you do anything? Funny enough, he starts to do that. So the reason I'm making this point today is because what I see is even the James Woods,

Starting point is 00:17:34 which I would see in the category of all the people we're making fun of. This guy is literally doubled down on some of the dumbest things. He's wrong half the time, like most partisans, left or right, because they have a team and they cite on that team no matter what half the time. So he says, now, why aren't you arresting these people for treason? Oh, he's, the natives are restless. I don't know which is more frustrating to know that Democrats literally staged a coup against the president or to know that Federal Bureau of FBI,

Starting point is 00:18:00 the FBI can't find a single person. Oh, so it's this guy's fault. Not the president who could have done something the entire time. or made the FBI do something or anybody. No, it's cash's fault, blame cash. That's it. That's what he's doing. After all this time.

Starting point is 00:18:16 Only now, by the way, you should have been doing this after the first couple of months, James. You should have been doing this the first year. And not just him, but everybody else around them. That still also does nothing. But no, he's pinpointing cash because he knows cash is on the way out and keeps supporting the team. My opinion, anyway, wouldn't you as a normal person be like,

Starting point is 00:18:33 how dare you guys not do anything? None of you are on my side because none of you are doing anything, no Epstein files, no Fauci, no Gates, no any of it. Nope, not James Woods. We're going to keep supporting the team because that's what we do. That's embarrassing. That's worthy of ridicule. Now, other points that show you that people are unhappy within the hardcore team sport

Starting point is 00:18:52 politics side, which is interesting. Email from Susie Wiles warning White House staff about leaks is leaked. This is not new. It's from May 9th. But I found this funny in its own right. but also the fact that what it shows you is this is not some Democrat holdover, guys. This is not the first week of the administration. This is allegedly an administration that has been weeded out multiple times.

Starting point is 00:19:16 People have left and gone and come back and left. And we're supposed to believe this is the team. At the very least, that they did their best so far to get rid of all the holdovers they can blame the other side for. So then now we keep getting leaks. So what does that show me that Trump's team is unhappy with Trump or that Trump's team is unhappy with what the Trump administration is doing. Or at the very least, that they don't respect them, that they know that these things are crimes,

Starting point is 00:19:40 they want to be shown. You could choose your poison. The truth, though, is that the realities that we can see is that leaks keep coming out, even when they're like, you better stop leaking, and they leak that. So what overlaps with we'll get to it later in the show is Kelly and him talking about the briefings

Starting point is 00:19:55 about the pretty much what everybody in the world already knew, by the way, which is silly that they're making a deal about it, which is that they were out of their weapons. Their interceptors are super low. He came out, made a big statement about it. Hank Seth is now trying to make a case about how he broke the law, national security. Well, there's a case you made about the fact this is an illegal war.

Starting point is 00:20:13 So, I mean, I'm not going to make that case for Kelly. I do not think he's a whistleblower, but it's an interesting point to be made about whether it's an illegal war and whether or not that would then open the door to be going, hey, that's a crime they're doing. I'm not defending Kelly. I will never do that. I don't think any of them are on your side. I think it's a lot of theater half the time. But just think about this and think about how clear it is that the team itself is actually imploding. And I think what this shows you is that this is not just left or right, but the government.

Starting point is 00:20:37 This entire government is falling apart. Now, I'm not saying that's a positive thing. I don't want government at all. So in that regard, I do see it that way. But it's going to cause a lot of chaos. It's going to cause a lot of uncertainty, death and suffering. And I mean, that's what will happen if this just suddenly go. But that's the only reason that would be the way that goes is because of what our government has done to us.

Starting point is 00:21:00 Right. what this power structure has done to us and warped our minds into thinking that we can't exist without them guiding our hand. But either way, I digress. On this point, Owen Schroier comes out and says all this to stop a nuke that didn't exist and open a straight that wasn't closed. Wow, a million views. It's like he's saying the things we were saying the first weekend. You know, as usual, I'm, you know, pointing out the obvious, but I hope Owen is actually changing away from the two-party illusion, growing away from the ridiculous Info Wars night. dynamic that he was a part of. My point is simply that, yes, I completely agree. And I'm glad he's

Starting point is 00:21:35 pointing out the obvious, but from a platform that's seen as somehow above all the rest of the actual real independent media, so they get pointed to when they say the obvious thing we were saying six months ago. But it's a good point, isn't it? No nuke. Strait was already open, and our gas prices are exploding. Now, that's not the point I'm showing you. It's this. Owen Schroyer is a, you know, barely removed from the Info Wars team. He is a partisan. He's part of the team left, right paradigm. And his people were going, yes, finally, somebody who's not an independent T-Lav, M-I-I-M-A, you know, what are people that we don't want to like or support because they're not on my right team. But finally, one of my team says it, now we can support what the thing is

Starting point is 00:22:16 that we all agree, which is that we got lied to. There's no nuke. The straight was open. It's all nonsense. Everybody supports that. That's my opinion, but I think it's pretty obvious. I think it's very clear that the opinion of most people left or right are that this was a blunder. He failed. He lied. Netanyahu tricked him. You know, all of the stuff we can actually prove. I impact flick says, well, at least we got Trump into office right on because he did. He very much pushed for that. Who should we vote for next? I'm sure they'll make everything better. See, Brian, and I just really hope that people that start to see, or at least, you know, what I see in people like Brian or myself or other independent media, which is an objectivity, which is, you know, an honest, nonpartisan breakdown, even if we can be wrong like anybody can. and then take the time to look at Brian over the next couple of years. Maybe take a dance back and look at what he's been doing for 10 years and realize he's been

Starting point is 00:23:07 consistent the entire time. Not suddenly seeing it and changing and then going back, you know, like everybody in this larger field, but he has been constantly calling out both sides forever in the same way, the same way right now that everybody seems to go, yes, that's correct. We see it. Probably in a month that'll change. But he'll stay the same. Not in a bad way, but in the consistent ways that continues to call out the broken

Starting point is 00:23:28 nature of this government. Important, I think. This person, what is this, coin bow, just random account, says, President Trump, if gas continues to rise, then let it rise. I'm not bothered. What a statement by Trump, after all the promises that it wouldn't happen. It won't. It'll go right back down. Don't worry. It's because of the nukes. Ron Bat. Now, you know, now I'll just shut up, basically. I don't even care. Yeah, that's, that is him frustrated, guys, because he thought, if he told you not to care that you wouldn't, you just stop caring. I guess that's what he said, but that's what he's been told his whole life.

Starting point is 00:24:04 Apparently, that's not true. And of course, trucey media says, let them pump gas. You know, let them eat cakes, making fun of him. But the point is that it's not going your way, it seems. And I made the joke about this because this is what you have partisans doing now. The Grand Californian simply goes, man, I filled up my Silverado. I'm quite sick to my stomach.

Starting point is 00:24:21 Now the gas is 739 a gallon, right? This random, who knows, bot for all we know, comes in and says, Iran could have nuke your ASS. Would you have preferred that instead? What a stupid thing to say? First of all, even if it was literally the truth, why would it be like, die or spend this much on gas? It's like, what a childish view.

Starting point is 00:24:42 But or not, a lot of people actually fall for stuff like this. And I simply said, your brain, your brain on partisanship, you know, joking on the old your brain on drugs kind of guy. That's worse than drugs in my opinion. And I think that's what we're seeing. Is this kind of broken, you know, all or nothing mentality? Five times August says the Epstein case is so bad. Now, you can decide it's something different,

Starting point is 00:25:03 but the point is something they're trying to distract you from. I do think Epstein is one of those things, that it's so bad that the government gave you a war, a new virus, aliens to keep you distracted from it, sit with that as long as you need. Now, it's kind of a joke, kind of not, because you should be considering that a lot of these things are trying to get you to look a different direction.

Starting point is 00:25:21 But some people would think that the one was from the other, where, you know, the war is the folk. I mean, you can decide for yourself. But what's interesting is that not even the point of what you, whether this is true or not, but the engagement and people that are supposedly, you know, team sport players. I mean, here's J.P. Sears. This guy was literally just on Info Wars. He goes on all the time, hardcore Trump supporter for, I mean, but most of them at this point have now kind of gradually come along to, well, he's doing the wrong thing and it's Israel's forcing him or whatever

Starting point is 00:25:49 the narrative is to sort of, and I'm not even trying to down, badmouthed J.P. Sears. I think that he does, I think he's funny and I think he does good works. sometimes would be very partisan. Maybe I'm wrong. You can say it for yourself. But overall, the point is that even somebody like that says, and an assassination attempt, implying that that was a fake or at least a psych or manipulation to get you to look a different direction. I mean, think about what that shows you with people that are this influential and this high and engaged. I mean, if five times August was somebody who was, like I said, very recent, post the election was very much supporting with Trump. He has integrity. So he started calling it out

Starting point is 00:26:24 the moment that he stopped doing what he said. JPC or took a little longer than that, but the overall point was that a lot of people are like, yep, we're being lied to. Now, you guys don't need this, right? And this is what I know. I know so my hardcore audience gets, you know, you guys get the same.

Starting point is 00:26:39 Sometimes it can be repetitive. I get that. But I'd like to believe that you understand because you watch the show enough that this is necessary for people out there that are new. And we'll get to the good stuff that you probably want to hear. But it's important to make sure people see this. And you know, maybe I'm spinning my wheel.

Starting point is 00:26:53 Maybe I'm wasting my time. I'd like to think that people gain from this who are, you know, look, I'm going to be real. I don't care if there's one person that watched today that was like profound, opened their mind and was like, wow, I thank you that I think it's worth it. But you guys tell me what you think. Anyway, the point is that's awareness of that at the very least the allowance to stop supporting the team. That's what we were telling you, the first month of this administration. And that's not because it was right then it had been going on the last administration. and I was becoming aware that people aren't buying it anymore.

Starting point is 00:27:28 Jason Bassler says, hey, Maga, now in my mind, how is the end of the war going? U.S. military forces will leave Iran in two weeks. Now, my opinion is the people that are still making those arguments are not the people that truly want to make America great again, but the people that said that because they support Trump, matter what. The people that truly want to make this country great again,

Starting point is 00:27:48 even if we disagree on that, they didn't get what they were promised. And if they're honest, they were like, what the F, Trump? That's not what you said. and I think that's where most people are. So my point is that what you can see here is the blind team sport left, the blind team sport right. And he compares it as two weeks to flatten the curve, two weeks to end the war. Well, look at that.

Starting point is 00:28:04 It's almost like it's the same damn thing. Yep, I really believe that in the sense of the great reset and getting us in a place where they can transition this into something larger. Not going to get into that much today, but you know what I think. I think it is unbelievably obvious that that's happening right now. So on that, a couple more points on this segment. this is, and this is just, this is examples of people that are just fed up with this, right? And the absurdity of how obvious it is. Trump recently posted a whole civilization will die tonight, you know, if they don't or so on.

Starting point is 00:28:36 And he's made that statement more than once. And of course, the ridiculous Zionist Stephen Miller comes out and says, be unapologetically pro-civilization. You know, while you genocide an entire civilization, while you genocide in a secondary civilization, while you occupy and ethically cleanse a third one in Syria in Lebanon, Gaza, right? Or, you know, while you just absolutely don't believe that at all, and it's objectively clear every time you open your mouth. But yeah, say the thing that they can all point to pretend that you're not a monster. It's insane.

Starting point is 00:29:05 It's absolutely insane. That's why this person said I effing hate this administration because it's just insanely obvious. And have fun reading the comments, guys. Miller is a monster. I mean, he's a very dangerous person, my opinion. That's clearly my opinion. But if you, I feel like if you're a. not partisan. He isn't, I feel like he is like a textbook sociopath based on the way he conducts

Starting point is 00:29:25 himself. He's the one driving you to be belligerent to steal other people's land because you can. He's not a good person. Now, some people don't care about that. I do. He's also a dishonest person. Everyone should care about that. This says who's going to China with Trump? America's top CEOs, including Elon Musk. Guess who else? Yeah, this is still on the whole hashtag winning kind of conversation, right? Well, first of all, going to China seems a little bit, you know, they're stealing everything and China's the bad guy and everything. There's hawks in this country that are clearly adversarial to China. Trump has

Starting point is 00:29:55 kind of played that a bit, but you know, I think he is all about his interest all the time. But guess what? Elon Musk. That makes he's still part of the government by law, by the course, the court's ruling, but no one talks about that. Tim Cook, you know, the good guys. Larry Fink, you know,

Starting point is 00:30:12 the guy's the good guys, right? Team humanity. Let's see, but just in general, Blackstone, Black Rock, Boeing, Cargill, Citibank, coherent arrows, GE Aerospace, Goldman Sachs, MasterCard, Meta, Visa, legitimately, all the good guys, right? Just like when he got elected, ERA's inauguration, and the front row was packed with all the good guys, right? All the people that we got all objectively called the ones fighting for the team and humanity. Or no, I'm sorry, I misremembered.

Starting point is 00:30:40 It was all the technocrats. So we all called the bad guys in the Great Reset 30 seconds ago. But now it was all, yay, we're on the same side, unity. Well, the reality is, guys, he's unapologetically showing you that he's. he's on that team. Now, not everybody seems to care about this. Or let's put it this way. You may have a different opinion about what those things mean. But this is sort of a smattering of like the word, this is insider stuff. This is the swamp. This is technocracy. This is globalism. It's all, and you pick, you choose what you think he's fighting and it's represented

Starting point is 00:31:07 right there. That's the point. He is an insider. He always has been. You've been played. If you thought otherwise anyway. And of course, just one more example is the idea, like I said, the beginning of any number of things you were promised. One more failed promise, the U.S. to allow more foreign-produced beef at lower tariffs. The whole point was bringing it back to America and then it ended up being flooded

Starting point is 00:31:28 at the Argentina-Bef Point. Overall, pretty much everything that you've been promised from this platform or this administration has gone the other direction. Frankly, more than most that I've seen in the past. Orange Schroier, yet again, pointing out what Hegg-Seth said this has to do with Fauci. So this was the ninth.

Starting point is 00:31:46 On the eighth, Fouchy, or Hegset said this. The Biden administration's experimental COVID-19 vaccine mandate was wrongfully forced on our warfighters. 100% agree. It was unjust and we are doing everything we can to make it right except actually making it right by holding that person accountable. Or, you know, and by the way, I could mean Trump, just as much as Fauci, by the way, or Biden. None of those things are going to happen. Owen says, he says it was illegal yet no one has been prosecuted. Well, isn't that a valid point?

Starting point is 00:32:13 How can it be illegal and you could prove it was illegal, which means, someone broke the law, and yet no one is even being investigated. It doesn't take a brain surgeon to understand that that means they're not planning to. They have all the evidence they have for years now. So are we going to pretend like they're somehow in some long-term process? Well, you can go ahead and pretend that. You know what? It's even possible.

Starting point is 00:32:35 But the likelihood is obvious. Another massive crime against humanity with no one responsible going to jail. Yep, not Biden, not Trump, not left, not right. Time to wake up, America, because it's. It's quite obvious what's driving the bus. Now also, let's not forget, just on a side note, that the Trump administration has already leaned into self-amplifying vaccines. And I mean, every single step of the way, this platform, myself and all the rest of the IMA, have been screaming and waving our arms going, you're being lied to. No, they're not ending MRI vaccines.

Starting point is 00:33:04 Here they are literally leaning into the new community shot for 2026. Here they are leaning in explicitly to the worst versions of the MRNA direction so far anyway, which is the self-amplifying shots. Both of them are tourists, amplitude, all happening. And just in case you somehow still pretend that I'm making these things up, despite all of the evidence we produce every time, which is in the show below, here's the commodity shot. There are still people right now who will tell you that Trump's administration ended M or any vaccines, sort of like how they somehow defeated ISIS or pulled out of Syria,

Starting point is 00:33:36 even though every one of those things he said multiple times and never actually did. Pfizer and Biotech Comernerity receives U.S. FDA approval for adults over 65. This is 2027 or 2025, August 27. You guys know this. COVID shot. I mean, it's the reality. So you got played. Just like Biden played.

Starting point is 00:33:54 Just like Bush played. Everybody, this is how it goes. Under the guise of ending MRNA. Oh, of course, MRNA and food they kept as well. Now, also include a couple articles that I was just searching for Fauci stuff, by the way. CIA is creating fostering and seeding neo-Nazi extremists into the United States. Look, that was 2023. Look, that story that came out that was breaking news that we read.

Starting point is 00:34:14 recovery back in 2020 as usual and fouchy's mask lie crumbled that's why i grabbed it actually but i thought that was interesting that we you know this is exactly the story that was all just kind of pushed through and then it went away all of a sudden isn't that funny how it works and of course this one fouchy runs as the covid illusion collapses 2022 while the mainstream media doubles down on the vaccine injury cover up you know you guys know this most of me this is a lot of people actually discovered us during the covid 19 time frame but this is early on in 20 for the moment this thing started, we were breaking this down. And the point I'm showing Yills 4 is to recognize that Fauci, we always saw as a criminal because he was acting in a criminal manner. He was doing,

Starting point is 00:34:51 you know, everything we've discussed over this whole conversation is, let's put it this way. It's because right back to the U.S. government in every possible way. Fauci has played a central role in this mechanism as long as I've been aware of what he's been doing, which is not, he came into my mind in the beginning of this COVID-19 conversation. But since then, of course, we've looked back at his previous work. The universal flu vaccine conversation, Rick Bright, and this whole, I mean, this whole thing has been there for a long time. And this is an interesting point at which it was shifted into the new direction, sort of like everything else is being done to us, where it is something they want and they need that, you know, they create the context

Starting point is 00:35:31 to justify that next push. So here's Rand Paul saying, remember when you were called a conspiracy theorist for questioning the origin of COVID? I was right there with you. Now, here's what's interesting. As all, and this is completely our, it started where you were crazy for considering that this might have been something that was manipulated. Then more evidence became available. And more and more and more until the point it became objectively obvious that even if there was something that we were lied to, flu and pneumonia combined, PCR false positives,

Starting point is 00:35:58 the whole damn thing. These are not debatable at this point, guys. And so is this the truth? Or was this the carefully crafted endpoint lie where we'd end up going, you know, the thing that we were too early in criticizing and. discussing, that's why it was shouted down, which was later to be the thing they ended on, which nine of it was true, which it was the Wuhan Lab and the and the Bat coronavirus and all the different conversation that we should be skeptical of, but still consider that very well

Starting point is 00:36:21 may be the reality. Fouchy dismissed the lab leak theory. So what we're really getting into is the idea that Fauci, the bad guy, is the one covering up a story that I think most of the people who are investigating this are skeptical of. That's what I find interesting. And I think this is part of that trap. Now, you can decide whether Rand Paul's aware of that or not, or or whether I'm wrong. But what I find interesting is most of the Republicans, rather conservatives who want Fauci to be put in prison, are a lot of them, I would argue.

Starting point is 00:36:50 Who knows if it's the majority, argue that the Lab League theory is false. They were talking about something that was either not there or at the very least wildly manipulated. And then this was sort of the cover and to blame it on China and the whole kind of thing that went down. So he goes on to say on every major network, while the NIH, he dismissed the Labelic theory,

Starting point is 00:37:08 while every major network while his NIH was actively funding gain of function research. Now that I find very important. Whether you think it was what they say it was or not, it was research that was ongoing. And then they switched to the whole EEP thing, which was very obvious. All it was, if you don't remember, was him, they changed the name of what they call gain of function. And so when Rand Paul said gain of function, voucher said, that's not what we did. It was such an obvious sidestep. Careers were destroyed.

Starting point is 00:37:34 The COVID cover up ran straight through our own public health bureaucracy today as the final day for the DOD-to-charge Fauci. I doubt it will happen. I hope it does. But overall, the idea is that he now has a thing coming up two days from now that's supposed to be sort of a whistleblower COVID hearing. Why wouldn't he have done that? Done the 10th

Starting point is 00:37:52 a month ago. I mean, who knows? Maybe it just happened the way it did and he didn't have the ability to do that. But we should ask that question. And I really want you to ask the larger, you know, include this one, and there's plenty. Just going off the tags on this one, you'll be able to find a

Starting point is 00:38:08 all the others, including the others that Denny Renku and the interviews I had with him. My point is there's plenty of article shows, daily wrap-up interviews that talk about this larger point. But this one simply entitled, data proves COVID-19 is actually an illusion. And it's worth your time to understand. It probably doesn't even mean what you think it means. It's simply that there were obvious manipulations that were used to lie about what ultimately happened very well still could mean that there was some kind of a pathogen.

Starting point is 00:38:32 You can make up your own mind about the facts. But with this point, it seems almost designed like, you could look at it this way, designed to make sure that this person never goes to jail since it very well may be a story that's a construct. Either way, I guess the real point is, regardless of what you think about that, it's not happening anyway, which is unfortunate. I mean, let's not forget that Alex Jones and all the rest. That was one of their primary things. Just keep Trump alive and Fauci will go to jail, we were told. Five times August. All of a sudden now, right? And we're going to briefly point to the hanta virus overlap. Fauci in the news, there were Burks in the news.

Starting point is 00:39:11 Really? Gates in the news. Masks back on faces. Hasmat suits, new shots in the works. Nothing has changed because nothing has changed. Now, those are the discussions. But let's be clear. We're nowhere near what was happening in the beginning of the COVID-19 illusion.

Starting point is 00:39:27 New shots, it has my suits. Like, I'm aware, and I'm paying attention, and I'm concerned to a degree. But I'm worried, like, I agree with the statement, the saying this. Like, I agree with what he's presenting there. People out there that are doing, what I would argue is their work, which is the hype around the, either around the idea that

Starting point is 00:39:46 they're about to do all the things they're going to do or just the idea that this might be a dangerous virus. Either of those could be the reality, depending on how you view the world. But let's wait for, like, let's not do their job for them, which is, you know, I guess they, let's wait for like, okay, right now, which we'll, well, maybe, I'll say real quick and then we'll get over to the next point. Like, you know, the idea of these people being on a lockdown, right? Or, you know, after the ship and the whole thing. Which is just crazy to me from a freedom perspective, but overall, it's something that's been going on a long time. There's been examples like this from before the COVID-19 timeframe where, especially on these cruise ships.

Starting point is 00:40:19 Like, I used to work with people that worked on cruise ships as cooks. It is insane. The level of stuff they do that's way beyond restaurants. I don't want to get into it all, but just like because of the idea that you are isolated on the middle of the ocean. And so from a cooking perspective, you have to be way more careful, right? Half the time on like food illnesses, you know, you could only hold food from half the time you normally would, blah, blah, blah. Not only saying all that, and the point is that there's been awareness of whether or not you're sort of in an incubator situation, and so to be more careful. But it's never been hyped the way it is today, even though even if there have been

Starting point is 00:40:52 incidences, it was sort of brushed off, ignored, it was talked about. So that is happening now is concerning to me because it very well could build into something that could explode on the scene. My point, though, is that where it goes from here makes all the difference to me. If all of a sudden it starts going popping up in this location, that location, I will point to some things in a second. Like I said, let me come back to this in a second. second. But just to be cautious, guys, because I'm worried of how much this might be used in a lot of other ways than just another COVID-19 pandemic situation, illusion, that is. But what he said there, nothing has changed, that's the point in trying to relay there overall. These are the same people doing the same things. We're going to get into some of these points that make that even more clear, like the CDC point and everything else. Now, first, this was really strange to me. Now, I've been really resistant, like what I just said, for to jump on the hype of this or worry about it before we see, tangible outcomes because I just get the sense that it might be less than before. So that's why, you know, in general, I haven't been going over all the different updates and

Starting point is 00:41:49 different claims, right? And today I was going to point to a couple things. I saw this, and this is just a breaking news alert I got from the, and this is the Cobeci letter account on Twitter as well as their platform. And it just simply said, despite all the headlines, and this, again, hear this, because this is important, there is a mere 8% chance if that's even the reality that, or if it's even there, by the way, that a hanta virus becomes a pandemic in 2026. So based even on their narratives, like again, you could argue that's not even real. But even within it, hypothetically, it's a very, very, very small chance that it could become what they're claiming you worry about with the information we have. Doesn't mean they could lie about

Starting point is 00:42:26 it. But it says, this is exactly what the market is not reacting to the headlines. So I wanted to find that. I just wanted to grab the actual tweet to be able to show it to you. So I looked for it. Wasn't there. It's not strange. I know it exists. I'll just really quickly. Now, what I'm expecting almost is for this to,

Starting point is 00:42:45 that's why I recorded it for it to all of a sudden happen, but it doesn't look like it is. But when you see it circle like that, that means there's something there that it's not showing you. I'm telling you, I've been doing this long enough. It's the secondary one. It goes down a little bit. Watch.

Starting point is 00:42:59 Right there. See that? For those that did, keep, you'll know, for the podcast, you may not make much sense. But the point is, that means there are listings that just, aren't pop developing or not popping up, but whatever. There's a word I'm looking for there. Now, of course, it could be a glitch.

Starting point is 00:43:16 As always, it's just being Twitter having a problem. But still to this point, it's not there. You'll see where I'm going with this. I found this really interesting. Whether it's just related to me or not, I don't know. So I searched by asking Grock. And this is an interesting point to make here because this is one way that this pertains just to Twitter where I simply said, hey, here, I listed it off and I said,

Starting point is 00:43:35 find that tweet. It exists. And it said, here it is. Here's the tweet right there. So I said, okay, I'm perfect. I must have just missed it. And I clicked on it. And it brought me there. I said, wait a minute. That's, hold on. There's no tweet there. This has happened to me before. And what you'll notice is these are all responses to the tweet that doesn't populate. That's where I was looking for. For me, it's not there. And even if you click on some of these, look, you can see a little gray line that shows you it goes to something else. Now, I don't understand why. Because I send it to everybody else.

Starting point is 00:44:10 Everyone else can look at the tweet. They clicked on it, they looked at it, came right up. Why would I not be able to see it? Of course, I went to go check Cabelis-C-Bisi letter or forget what it's called, and I'm not blocked. I can still look at it. I can't look at everything else. Here's the actual tweet.

Starting point is 00:44:23 I still can't get it to come up. It says right there, breaking. I had somebody else had to take this picture. Despite all the headlines, there was mere 8% chance that the haunt the virus becomes a pandemic. Now, ask yourself, why would that even happen? Now, for all we know, this could just be. some weird thing. But what I genuinely think it is is just a, maybe a combination of a glitch, but it is suppression. For whatever reason, I'm unable to see this clip, this link, no matter what I do.

Starting point is 00:44:48 It's just not there. No matter what, I click on these. I can't scroll down. No matter what. So why would that be? Now, of course, part of me is thinking, well, maybe this platform wants to, I mean, this is like a whole meta, like nexel, all conspiratorial, if you will, is this because it wants me to think that it's hiding for me, so I dive into the story. Yeah, I'm not going to go that route. That'll make you go crazy. But overall, I just think that's pretty weird. Now, I'll include these links so you can look for yourself and you can clearly recognize because this technically should be the link, both in the Grock part of it, as well as each one of these. That should be the link. Doesn't show up. I just, I almost say, I want to, it's funny to me because

Starting point is 00:45:27 that shows in my mind, an undeniable reality this platform is constantly suppressing the flow of content. And this could just be sort of a glitchy moment. where it's not even for any reason. It just kind of had a moment where it doesn't know and whatever. And I just think that's very, very important. Oh, and I did have this. So just you could see it. I guess it doesn't matter since I already kind of showed you.

Starting point is 00:45:48 Let me see if it's there. I forget what I looked at. I'll just bring it up real quick. Of course, we got to wait for this to take a 30 second delay for whatever stream yards doing. Hey, there it goes. Finally, now when I include this video, watch how long it takes for it to come on the screen. waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. Nope, I denied it, actually.

Starting point is 00:46:11 Not, well, that was a waste of time. Well, anyway, there's clearly something going on with this platform. I can't even get half the stuff to work right now. But all the video was ultimately going to show, which I guess now it's not allowing me to show, which I'm not really sure why, was the fact that it was just me loading this and it wasn't coming up, but that's what you can see already. Honestly, I took the video because I was thinking it was going to just suddenly load when I was looking at it. But let's move on.

Starting point is 00:46:31 It's so strange. It's not even trying to hide what it's doing anymore. I find that incredible. Anyway, so continuing on the hand to butter's point, President Trump stands firm on WHO would draw amid the haptofirus outbreak. Well, that may sound like, you know, the thing you want to hear that he's bucking the system, except that's not even close to what's actually happening. He's literally proposing to build a new WHO that costs way more money per year

Starting point is 00:46:54 on top of the fact that he's literally built his own globalist platform. That is the board of peace, that even the UN called a tangential security council. It is literally globalism that these people, everyone claims they're fighting while supporting Trump's global agenda. But so recognize that when what he's actually going to say here is not what you probably think he's getting into. And that is that, you know, coronavirus bad and vaccines I don't really agree with, but, you know, I'll let us speak for herself. No, we seem to have things under very good control. They know that virus very well. It's been around a long time, not easily transferable, unlike COVID.

Starting point is 00:47:36 But we'll see. Okay, so did that bother you? Right? For all those people out there that are utterly convinced they somehow is only going, yeah, the shot's great because it's some kind of 45D chess move. Right. The reality is you should be outraged that he still pretends like those monstrous, murderous things are somehow helping anybody and still offers them to children,

Starting point is 00:47:55 which is what they're still doing. Him and RFK Jr., just the same. But not like COVID. So what he actually just implied there is that COVID is dangerous and spreads very fast. Is that what you believe Republicans, conservatives to support this platform, or excuse me, this president, it should matter to you. Now, I'm not even asking whether you, whether that's the truth or not. Just from a simple point of whether you're citing with a person who actually doesn't even

Starting point is 00:48:18 represent what you believe the truth is, I'm speaking to people who are honest, who have yet to truly recognize this person doesn't even believe what you think he does. He's constantly saying whatever he needs people to think. And at this point, he's just saying this because it's trying to walk down the idea that this is dangerous because I think he's saying that for his audience. Now, who knows where it goes? I mean, he said things like that and then leaned into an active thing around COVID in the past. We have very good people studying it very closely.

Starting point is 00:48:47 Studying it very closely. So keeping that in mind, CDC escalates hontovirus response. Yeah, that's Trump's administration, just in case we were confused. Now, this specifically, CDC is escalating its response to the honda virus outbreak. This was on the 8th. issuing a level three emergency response. And specifically in Kentucky, I only got that first.

Starting point is 00:49:15 Oh, I forgot to go through this more. The point was the risk of phoned virus is low here in Kentucky, and right now there are no identified close contacts from current outbreak. Okay, well, then why would the CDC decide to make this a level three threat? You could decide for yourself, but it kind of contradict what Trump was just telling you, doesn't it? I certainly hope this doesn't go anywhere. Kind of think that it won't.

Starting point is 00:49:34 Just my gut. because I just don't feel like this makes sense. I think they know that nobody's buying this new, this, you know, 2.0 kind of thing. But you never know, right? I mean, I would have expected a lot of things to go differently than their clumsy Iran agenda or, you know, or in another way, I wouldn't have guessed that Venezuela would go that way with Delciur Rodriguez and essentially a success with what they did in their eyes anyway.

Starting point is 00:49:58 You know, so my point is you just don't know, but it's important to think about. Now, as David Ike says, and here's Mario Nafal doing the whole propaganda, the thing. American Hatha virus patient in biocontainment unit is currently on plane in Nebraska. One confirmed PCR positive. Yeah, we're still doing that. Totally still a thing under the Trump administration who you believe is fighting all these things. And PCR positive. Here we go again, David Ike says. And I'm showing you this clip before. Worth hearing again, here's Kerry Mullis, the inventor of the PCR test. You know, the kind of thing we were showing you at the first couple of months into COVID-19 lies that are only still gravitating into the minds of some of these

Starting point is 00:50:32 mainstream alternative people who died months before COVID appeared. Some people argue more happened there. He said the PCR test cannot tell you if you're sick. And the whole simple point was you can find anything you're looking for. He said it sort of makes you believe in God that way from a scientific perspective. The point is the way this works, it's a magnifier, a multiplier, essentially. It constantly increases in magnitude and it can keep getting lower and lower in a molecule sense. Or rather, I guess not lower, but I mean, kind of, but might be getting closer in a sense,

Starting point is 00:51:01 It's like a microscope. And it just keeps getting closer and closer. Some of these terms would be the accurate, appropriate terms, for people to understand, though. And so the point is when it gets closer and closer and closer, you get a more, I guess, I don't know, microscopic is right word, but you get what I'm saying, a closer view. And so the point, what he's making,

Starting point is 00:51:18 and I'll let him speak for himself, is that essentially when you go that far down into the view microscopic or whatever the right term would be, that you essentially can find almost anything. As he says, you can find a molecule of almost anything at that level. So what that becomes is an excuse to go, oh, COVID, you have COVID, even though it simply means that you have a molecule of that that exists on almost everybody. And that was one of the ways they played this. And the higher cycle threshold, the more likelihood you'll find whatever you're looking for.

Starting point is 00:51:45 And that's why they increased it beyond 28 cycle threshold, which is what the argument was it should be below, to what was it like 40 something? And then dramatically lowered it when they were after getting it. It was such an obvious scam. It was a deliberate misrepresentation. Now, the real question is how many people actually knew that? did Trump, did Biden? I mean, I highly doubt it. Did people within the administration? Did people even at the CDC? Who knows? Let's realize that we're watching sort of a rapid decline in competence in this country, in the government anyway. So it's very possible that these people did even understand. I mean, it's not like this is a very simple thing to truly understand.

Starting point is 00:52:19 It's complicated. So maybe they didn't even know. Either way, we were played at some level. And with PCR, if you do it well, you can find almost anything in. anybody because if you can amplify one single molecule up to a to something that you can really measure which BCR can do then there's just very few molecules that you don't have at least one single one of them in your body amplify that's the better word the measurement for it is not is not exact at all it's not as good as our measurement for things like apples an apple is an apple you know you can get something that's kind of like, if you got enough things that look kind of like an apple and you stick them all together,

Starting point is 00:53:03 you might think it as an apple. And HIV is like that. Those tests are all based on things that are invisible, and the results are inferred in a sense. PCR is separate from that. It's just a process that's used to make a whole lot of something out of something. That's what it is. But it's not, it doesn't tell you that you're sick, and it doesn't tell you that the thing you ended up with

Starting point is 00:53:23 really was going to hurt you or anything like that. And with PCR, if you do it well, I don't know why it does that now. I literally check that setting earlier today. Anyway, where it like repeats at the end. Very important to hear that, though, right? Very important to hear what he just said. That, you know, it could, it could mean that you were sick,

Starting point is 00:53:43 but it very, could be very well could just mean that you have a molecule that will never make you sick or never spread. And so it's a complete misrepresentation. And now, even though we know that, it's still being used because the system recognizes an opportunity. as I see it anyway. I mean, how do you explain it? How do explain why they would use something

Starting point is 00:54:03 that the creator literally publicly avidly said would not be necessary, the right thing to use for illness? I mean, even at the beginning of the COVID-19 illusion, I covered this. A guy who used the PCR test to find the genetic makeup, I think of muscles in the ocean, like the, you know, the seafood,

Starting point is 00:54:20 came out right when they're starting and said, I can't believe they're using the PCR test because it's clearly something that is useful, but it's not even close to being able to give you those definitive answers. And of course, one of the larger ones, let's see if I can find it. There it is. Look at that. Oh, here, I'll grab me my show for it, too. This is, I mean, I still, I can't believe that this did not just, this should have been like an earth-shattering conversation that this was there. New York Times,

Starting point is 00:54:53 faith in quick tests leads to epidemic that wasn't. 2007. Now I'm not going to go over this all again. Now I may, if this comes back into, you know, here's my show where I go over it. This is I believe one of the clips that Brock made for us, the PCR illusion and the epidemic that wasn't. The bottom line in this very article, in 2007, they had an entire whooping cough epidemic that didn't even exist. Why? Because they used a PCR test to decide whether people were sick. It happened. It's a whole thing that happened. They documented. It exploded. They had people. They had people in sick beds. They had rooms cleared out. Hospitals cleared out. They declared all this stuff happened. You know, long story short, basically a many COVID-19 lockdown pandemic situation.

Starting point is 00:55:32 Turned out literally nobody had it. It was basically a wrong test that was amplified, given out, and then in this article, they said, if we do not learn from this, this will happen again. And I argue that's where somebody along said,

Starting point is 00:55:47 aha, you're damn right it will. Read it for yourself. I mean, it's all there. It always has been. People just ignore it. Of course, if Tucker had made this argument

Starting point is 00:55:57 and done exactly the kind of show we did around this, it probably would have changed the conversation. They didn't. It's been there the whole time. time. Who knows if that's because they didn't see it? I don't know. It's just worth pointing that out, isn't it? And then, of course, Derek did a great article on this. If the PCR test is unreliable, why are our health officials demanding the public be tested? Now, that was early. That was

Starting point is 00:56:22 September 17th, 2020. We were way ahead of this conversation. A lot of people were. Not even close to the majority, though. Mainstream media finally begins admitting a PCR false positive cover up. Never really changed anything, though. That was April, 2021. COVID-19 test swabs, ethanol oxide. Is there a risk? Yeah. It's not, it wasn't profound, but it was definitely there. And we talked about it. It's worth knowing. And they were jamming these. I think this was really about whatever they were doing with those swabs up the back of your nose into your brain that check for yourself. If you don't remember this, look for yourself. You'll be, it'll blow you away to look right now and find that there was literally no reason,

Starting point is 00:56:59 zero, why those people were jamming those into people's brains. Because all they got to do is swab your mouth. That's it. But for some weird reason, they felt the need to jam. Why? Because there was something else happening. Whether that was another test or something else, who knows? It doesn't, they were hurting people. Kids were getting bloody noses. People were having brain. There was one woman that had some kind of a brain issue because they literally hurt. They jammed it too far up. It was just insane. And you did not need to do that. You could talk about blood, brain barrier conversations with nanomache. Now, I mean, you go on. There's a lot of things you could find that would blow your mind. Who knows, though?

Starting point is 00:57:33 this one 2021 July the PCR illusion mask are back for everyone mandatory injections are here coming to your door that's a iconic picture isn't it now in this course in the UK now realize right now you're getting a lot of hype as well from people that are putting out content that is there's like a parody account that got millions of views

Starting point is 00:57:51 that's pretending to be a doctor on a plane that has a mask on and no one else is wearing them and everyone's it's working for the agenda I argue it's clearly making people think that oh my god this is coming back and maybe it is Maybe that's deciding to do that, but it's also not real. So you have to define what you have to decide where that line is. Is that propaganda?

Starting point is 00:58:10 Is that somebody trying to grift? Is it somebody just trying to get clicks and views? Maybe all three. Who knows? I'll include my interview with Zoe Smith. Medical coder blows the whistle on the COVID-19 illusion. That was 2024. Also, this larger one for 2023.

Starting point is 00:58:24 And this is just kind of a compilation. You have every reason to question everything you're told about variants, vaccines, masks, and PCR tests. Now, Mary Talley Bowden rightly points out, odds of getting struck by lightning, one in 1.22 million. Odds of dying from Hanta virus, one in 34 million. It's pretty sure we don't even need to be talking about it, right? Like it's off at this, unless they start to take liberties away from people because of the argument it's there. Now, that technically outslided the ship I haven't seen.

Starting point is 00:58:52 If you see it, please send it to me. And I am worried about that. Like I said, the idea that anybody anywhere can be locked down because of they tell you you're at risk. That's, day one on COVID-19 illusion. That was something we were not okay with. And we shouldn't be, guys. It doesn't matter what the argument is. That's a freedom issue.

Starting point is 00:59:08 That's a liberty issue. It's your decision whether or not you want to put other people at risk with your body. It's your choice. Now, of course, they can respond to you personally, but the idea that a government, an authority figure can come in and say, we have decided that you're a risk to them over there, therefore you aren't allowed to do things that are your right. And not even getting into the possibility that that could be abused and lied about

Starting point is 00:59:30 five times August, citing the sense receptor says, for up's sake, they're doing it again. Deborah, Debra Burke's former COVID task force coordinator calls the widely available PCR test for anti-virus. Hence, it should be in schools already. Five times August says they're doing it again because the guy you thought would, quote, expose and arrest them, didn't care and is going to let all of them go free and their COVID crimes, right? Right now, only so many hours left, making him just a guilt as guilty as all the injured in death

Starting point is 01:00:00 as they're, just guilty of all the death and injury of the rest. I agree. It's too bad that some people won't allow themselves to see that. Now, part of this is interesting that you have the Trump team sort of imploding. And what that's causing is people to start to look more closely at what their team is doing. Some people then start to gravitate away from that to another team, even if it's on the same side of the, you know, political spectrum. What we should be doing is standing back, in my opinion,

Starting point is 01:00:30 recognizing this is what government does. It's never been a better time to start broadening out the way you see this, guys understanding that, like we'll say in this point, even let's just say Massey is genuine. I hope so. He's been doing a good job holding to his principles and consistent with what he's been saying he's doing, he's following through. I will support that. Not in the sense of going out and voting for politicians, especially in the system where

Starting point is 01:00:51 I do not think it translates, but I will continue to stand for somebody who follows through what they claim. And who knows, maybe in a long, long, long way down the line. If he's done it for a year, maybe I will change them. I doubt it. I don't believe in government. That's why I'm kind of making a joke. But overall, my point is that we should hope that people are going in a good direction

Starting point is 01:01:07 and we should hope that that's genuine while questioning them every single step of the way and always considering that maybe they're lying to you. In this case, Massey represents sort of an alternative, right? Maybe he's going to run for president next. Maybe Marjorie Green and maybe that to me represents an extension of the same problem. Honestly, even if they mean what they say, I still argue that it's still the same. government and they'll still get capped, and manipulated and influence,

Starting point is 01:01:33 like all the rest of them. I hope I'm wrong. My point in saying all this, though, is to recognize that what's important is that we see the real issue, my mind, that government creates. The reason I'm saying that is because what we're seeing here is not a left-right thing,

Starting point is 01:01:46 not a Massey-Trump thing. Well, I guess, I guess, arguably you could argue in that case it would be a Massey-Trump thing, but that we're talking about foreign elements influencing policy in this country. In this conversation point, specifically is real. And there's more than that. There's more countries that influence policy.

Starting point is 01:02:00 discuss what lobbying does. Lobbying and money and politics should be something we get rid of. Israel, either because of the, I mean, maybe it's always been that way or maybe just because of the system we've allowed have taken advantage. It literally, objectively, controls U.S. policy. And I think that's something we have to come to terms with. Like the reality of what ISIS and al-Qaeda have always been and what that means and what our governments have done. These are things you can prove, guys. Not, not Ryan says you can bring literally, documentation, statements, admissions of guilt. You can look at documentaries that have nailed it to the wall like James Corbets or Ben Swans, and it's obvious what those things really are. Roxy armies of these foreign powers.

Starting point is 01:02:38 So here you have Massey who is not taking money from APEC, who is being challenged by somebody, and Galeen who's almost taken $10 million from APEC, who is really lobbying. And the battle between them. So what I'm going to get into here is the reality of Israel influence on this government as a whole. And if you see that, my question is, it possible even within this system or this government for somebody like Massey, who let's just even say is genuine to even be able to, one, successfully traverse this to being in power, or two,

Starting point is 01:03:10 successfully put forward his will in a system that is run still by that, even if he's genuine. That's the whole JFK talk conversation, or whatever, Charlie Kirk, if you will. Glenn says three rabbit Israel first billionaires, Mary Madelson, Paul Singer, John. Paulson are pouring obscene amounts into one Kentucky congressional district to remove Massey from Congress for being one of the few vocal consistent GOP critics of financing of Israel. Thomas Massey points this out, now I know why woke Eddie won't debate me. This is the one that Trump supports. He uses AI to write all of his social media posts.

Starting point is 01:03:53 Check this out, guys. These people aren't even real. I mean, that sense is just like they're, you know, not they're real people, but they're false. unfortunately for him, it's not smart enough to remove Grock's feedback to him. He literally posted this. It says, here's a polished social media post in your usual campaign community focused tone. And then the post. This guy, whoever did his account for him, literally copied and pasted exactly what Grock gave to him or whatever he used and just didn't even think to remove that or even pay attention.

Starting point is 01:04:22 That means this guy is so checked out that it's just, they present a persona and they sell it to you. I mean, at this point, guys, we might think, I bet you these at this high level, they probably have AI computer algorithms just doing everything all the time for them. They're not even real. They're not saying anything. These things are, they're chucking out comments and statements and it's not even them. I think about how alarming that is. He almost, Massie also writes this, is rarely born dual citizen globalist billionaire Miriam Adelson's Superpack,

Starting point is 01:04:56 just bought, as this is the 10th, another million dollars of ads, a million dollars of ads against just Thomas Massey for the final week of the race. I mean, how do we not see that as Israel influencing policy, literally, not just not policy, our government, like choosing via financial influence what happens? It says, but we can and we'll fight back with grassroots support. Now, whether you think they can dictate every single position is a different conversation. Whether we see them dictating the presidential election, I think is objective. I don't think that's even off the time.

Starting point is 01:05:31 I think everyone's. asking that right now. My opinion, you could tell me if you think it's true. I mean, this is in the main conversation at this point. This is the high, in corporate media is having to buy, I mean, Thomas Massey is saying these things publicly to a huge audience of people and he's about to become a member of Congress yet again. Clearly, people understand this is happening. So what he's simply highlighting is these people are just bombing this with money, trying to stop him from being in power because they know he challenges their interests. To me, that's objectively obvious right there alone. Now, here's John Keir-Kal, former CIA agent.

Starting point is 01:06:04 This is just the same old clip of Trump basically openly telling you that Mary Madelson would come to the White House more than anybody and went back with her former her dead husband. Sheldon going in there and begging them for money and gave it to him all the time. He laughs about that. John says it's not Russians influencing American politics. Israel is. These are not jokes, guys. These are people that have been paying attention who have been on the inside, who are quite frankly telling you,

Starting point is 01:06:31 Israel controls American politics, influences American elections. And yet we still can't really be, we can't even have an honest conversation about this because the mainstream mainstream alternative are completely captured in their own way and don't even allow people to see that this conversation exists. But my point is most people in this country

Starting point is 01:06:49 are actually in those conversation are aware of the real media apparatus and still see them, still point to them, but no, so how long have I been saying this? The only place in the world that you can get an impression of what the majority thinks is on their apparatus they've built. And it's not true. Where else do you get it?

Starting point is 01:07:07 They present it as what they claim the majority that's not even true anymore. And we can all sense that right now. Think about what that tells you. Glenn Greenwald, a Jewish person himself, points to 60 minutes interview with Netanyahu. And he says, like a lot of people, I have my strong criticisms of Netanyahu. But one important metric of a man is how he treats him. employees. Netanyahu flies to the White House seven times a year to visit his. And now he's sitting down with more of them on Israeli state TV, 60 minutes. Credit where credit is due. Well played.

Starting point is 01:07:42 What he's saying is that Netanyahu has employees and that's the White House. And state, Israel state media is 60 minutes. I mean, you could argue, he's joking, you could argue, but think about this. You would have never seen this two years ago, five years ago, because he's, you I bet you even Glenn would have called that racist five years ago, would have shouted you down for being an anti-Semite. The point is the whole world has changed. Everybody, as a Jewish journalist himself, has come not just to the point of calling it out,

Starting point is 01:08:11 but at the point to where he's like deriding and criticizing and like making fun of how obvious it is. Or, or, I'm forgetting his name all of a sudden. Oh, shoot. There's a few of them out there that have been, a lot of many ways, but the ones I've interviewed anyway, Jewish journalists that have been screaming about how the genocide is ongoing, how they're using Zionism to manipulate Jewish people. And it's just obvious, guys. And so what he's telling you is that he believes Netanyahu is in control, either through jokes here or through basic statements elsewhere.

Starting point is 01:08:41 Glenn is a very respected journalist, whether you think he's honest or not. And it's very clear the majority understands this opinion whether they disagree with it or not. That never used to be the case. I argue most people feel this way right now. Here, Colonel Douglas McGregor. telling you point blank, Netanyahu has, quote, complete control over U.S. policy. The minister has something now that he's never had before and probably will never get a game, and that is complete control of the United States Armed Forces and the absolute allegiance and obedience of the President of the United States and the Congress to whatever he wants. He's got to use that. It's a use it or lose it proposition for Israel. God, it took like five seconds for the pause.

Starting point is 01:09:25 Judge Napolitano's show. Where else are you going to hear that on a level that high? It's not many. McGregor's been saying things pretty, like somewhat discontentious, you know, bottom line is it's a influential voice to a high level of the conversation who is saying something that most of us would say would get called racist or, you know, people that care about YouTube would be censored. It's pretty wild, isn't it?

Starting point is 01:09:52 This is what I've been telling you since the beginning of this conversation because it worried me, whether it's the ethics pledges or the idea that Hagseth is quite literally fighting for Armageddon in his mind. So why would he be doing what Trump says? I mean, think about that for a second. And he is the connect between Trump and the military. So what he's telling you is that they do not control the military. And that makes so much sense with almost everything we're watching right now. Something now that he's never had before and probably will never get a game.

Starting point is 01:10:21 And that is complete control of the United States Armed Forces. and the absolute allegiance and obedience of the President of the United States and the Congress to whatever he wants. He's got to use that. It's a use it or lose it proposition for Israel. Either they get us back in, use everything that we've got left, or they might as well throw on the towel, because they're beginning to understand at home.

Starting point is 01:10:41 They can't realize the Greater Israel Project. They cannot go on as they have, treating all of their neighbors and inhabitants of the region as animals as subhumans. It's not going to work. So you either win it now with American military. military power or you're finished. And I think that's what's in the back of Mr. Netanyahu's prime minister. Well, doesn't that sound familiar? It should. It's exactly what I've been saying from the beginning. Now here, as I played before, just because it goes together, is Wilkerson.

Starting point is 01:11:11 From a clip, I think is a couple years old telling you his boss told him the Pentagon's run by Mossad. And it's unquestionable that the Epstein business was heavily influenced. Let me put it that way by Maslad. And so that's somehow emblematic on these huge geopolitical issues. Yes, I watched Mossad take over the Pentagon in 2002. The Pentagon was infiltrated by Mossad. They did not need any identification to get through the river entrance to the building. They went upstairs to Douglas Fythe, the Undersecretary of Defense for policy,

Starting point is 01:11:52 the third most powerful man in the Defense Department. occasionally they went to the second most powerful man paul wolfowitz the deputy secretary defense and they had run of the pentagon donald runnman the secretary defense said to my boss one time hell i don't run my building massad does uh and it's on question you have no idea how frustrating this is there we go there's like a five six second delay from everything i'm pressing here i'm just going to start bringing it up because it's not even worth telling you but it just understand if there's weird delays and repeats i'm doing my best This platform is acting very strange with me back here.

Starting point is 01:12:30 So let's continue. Hope there's no more delays. Robert Barnes says, BB reminding Trump that Trump is still his BITCHH. These are major supporters of Trump until moments ago. Benjamin Netanyahu insinuates that only he will decide when the war will end. I mean, this is not even insinuation. He's made this statement point blank to Israeli media.

Starting point is 01:12:51 You know that because you watch this show. And I'll include this long thread of Donald Trump before the select. process where he was telling you all of this was exactly what was going to happen we're going to fight for israel's wars we're going to fight for israel we're going to get rid of americans who don't like israel and of course campaigned with israeli flags the entire time nobody can't no big deal right literally in this clip says which i think i've even got right here might as well play it real quick oh maybe i don't have it in there just simply as i've played for you many times he says that it's real used to control congress and rightly so i mean i might as well grab it

Starting point is 01:13:26 since I said it. Hold on. There, hey, there it goes. It takes so much longer. There it is. I only get to wait for the video to pop up. I clicked it. Now, there it goes. And I'll see how long it takes to go in.

Starting point is 01:13:43 Go. Go. Go. You know, the biggest change I've seen in Congress is Israel literally owned Congress. You understand that 10 years ago, 15 years ago. And it was so powerful. It was so powerful. And I think you know exactly what I'm saying.

Starting point is 01:14:00 They had such power, Israel had such power and rightfully over Congress. Well, you know, the biggest change I've seen. Because I've already pressed the button. There we go. Rightfully over Congress. How can you deny something like that? And, you know, people can pretend that's not real or it's taken out of context. No, and no, very public.

Starting point is 01:14:21 I've played the entire thing. Or, you know, I've given you the full link. But people will deny what they're going to deny. And this was there on April 17, 2024, showing you what he was really saying. Just mattered whether you want to the list. listen or not, Glenn says easily one of the most under-discussed and undercover stories of the last 18 months. But it's not exactly difficult to understand what explains it. American, who spied for Israel, says he met Mike Huckabee to thank him for his support.

Starting point is 01:14:46 Of course, that's Jonathan Pollard. The ex-U.S. intelligence analyst spent 30 years in prison on SBNR's charges after being found to have past documents to Israel. Of course, he went back home after they let him go and he got a hero's welcome. And, you know, he's an Israeli spy, who the U.S. let go, who basically, you know, that's treason, right? Didn't matter. He's all, now he's friends with Huckabee, and they like, he's, thanks for helping me. Like, you want to, we've covered this whole story. I'm just, it's insane how obvious this can be.

Starting point is 01:15:14 Like, they act like it was a problem that he went home and they gave me heroes welcome. And the idea is that this was clearly showing you who was in control. And, oh, and here's, this is being shown by Glenn because of this conversation where Mike Huckabee is trying to pretend like they only get 3.38, 3.8 billion. Stop lying. that's the allowed contract conversation, which by the way, is actually more than that when all said and done, and has been increased more than once by Trump himself. But of course, if you're not a complete blind idiot and are not lying like Huckabee, you know

Starting point is 01:15:42 that that's one example of tons of mechanisms that give them money, which is Glenn's point. As he says, Biden gave $18 billion in one year alone. Trump is doing more than that and stop worshipping Jonathan Pollard. And just understand. Guys, this is happening to our country. Higseh, Huckabee, these are walls. These people are diehard Zionists who believe they're fighting for the end times for a foreign power. I don't know why that's not enough to wake people up to what's happening.

Starting point is 01:16:14 And an oldie but a goody in this larger conversation before we go into the next part. Foreign policy, this is an article from 2012 entitled False Flag. A series of CIA memos describes how Israeli Mossad agents posed as American spies to recruit members of the terrorist organization, Jundala, to fight their covert war against Iran. Yeah, it's all about the things today they tell you. Yeah, it's all because of the narratives they're telling you now. Not that they've constantly in long term been creating fake terrorist organizations to go after the guys that they want you to think of the terrorists. Like literally, this article goes over like six different agendas from different points, whether it's the U.S.

Starting point is 01:16:55 Patriot Front. I mean, this is what they do, whether it's fake hate crimes, whether it's a massade dressing up as American agents and you. I mean, guys, this is so many things. But it is a point when it wasn't being discussed as much. I'll actually plan on going over this in a different show. The point is simply to understand as we come back to it in a second that this is what they do as a matter of policy. Now, on that note, this is from the Jewish news syndicate.

Starting point is 01:17:20 Jews among group indicated for insider trading, this has to do with the Trump conversation, allegedly used going to Israel as code for their illegal sales. The 30 defendants are accused of scoring significant profits from expected market moves and making out like bandits. Weird. And of course, these are the ones that we can like time within minutes after what Trump says and does.

Starting point is 01:17:43 It's almost like they know what it's happening. I mean, look, you can, you can, there's only one of two ways to look at it. Either that is something that they get directly from Trump's team or Trump himself, or there's somebody within them that is relaying that and is not, and that you could call it an Israeli spy or whatever you want to call. It's clearly happening, though. And they keep doing it. And you can see people around Trump doing the same.

Starting point is 01:18:02 So this seems to be like a, you know, as the ship sinks, stuff your pockets. But overall, they literally called it going to Israel to use his information to illegally steal from American taxpayers. You know, that's how that works. Nothing new, right? And of course, this isn't a bigger overlap that Caitlin Johnstone, I believe it's right here. She put this out, and I've done this many times too. This is actually really well done. This is a 36-minute clip.

Starting point is 01:18:27 She says, Zionist staging fake anti-Semitic attacks happened so, often that it is unreasonable to treat each instance as an isolated individual event. And of course, there are events where people attack Jewish people or people attack anybody for unnecessary reasons or rather just, you know, for illegal, whatever. They attack people unjustly. So that's not to say that it doesn't exist. The reality, though, as she points out, is because of the amount of how many times we see that, the, like, if out of a hundred times of incidences, you have 90 of them that are

Starting point is 01:18:56 faked by the group claiming to be the victim, next time something happens, you're going to go, well, historically, the precedent, and that's not ignorance, that's not racism, that's simply looking at the reality of it. And so in this case, it says, and by the way, that is what Zionism does. That's literally designed to create a hatred towards the group that they claim they're representing. And they do not. This is a coordinated tactic. Someone compiled a 35-minute video on the news reports about these staged incidences. It is insane. Now, we've done like entire segments on this, showing you 15 different examples. What she does as follow up and says, this happens constantly around what Rabbi David Mibisir points out.

Starting point is 01:19:34 Man who, this is a rabbi, man who threatened to kill Jews at Cornell admits he did it to make people love Israel. I've almost heard that exact argument for it, by the way. This is the literal textbook definition of a false flag attack, says Rabbi David. Caitlin says this happens constantly. The other day I posted a video of a viral 36-minute video compiling all of these examples, and the Hasbarus didn't even try to dispute it. And these are just the times when the orchestrator got caught.

Starting point is 01:20:03 The total number is far higher. Now, consider outside of hate crimes being faked, you know, other major events being faked and being play-acted by people pretending to be, I don't know, Muslim terrorists or is anything what they do. Now, that doesn't mean you should ignore whether those things can happen organically. Just also consider that this is something that does happen.

Starting point is 01:20:24 Now, on that note, as we can objectively recognize, that Israel is basically controlling policy in this country in many very clear, observable ways, whether you think it's entirely or not. Think about where we are with the military and everything else we're seeing. And let's rehash this briefly again. Because we already talked about this. But I saw this point today and I decided I think it's worth reiterating, especially since half the time we do these segments and nobody other than the diehard

Starting point is 01:20:50 audience even sees it because we're suppressed. The real religious fanatics, Patrick writes, in this story are not Iran, but rather Crusader tattoo boy Pete Egg Seth and other nut jobs in the U.S. military. Now, this is about a four-minute clip. This guy, I forget his name, I've seen him around, basically breaking this down. Now, just to go for this pretty quickly,

Starting point is 01:21:08 I want to make sure we give him credit because it's a good clip. It's simply what we already discussed. They are telling the military that this is the end times. The Armageddon, that they're fighting this for God's divine plan. And whether or not you think

Starting point is 01:21:24 that's the case, whether or not you think it's appropriate. I mean, you have to understand, one, that's against law in a military sound, rather the code of conduct on top of that. I mean, there are other people in the military that aren't Christian. Is that somehow now longer allowed? Is that somehow, you know, we have to understand that one, on a religious fanatic perspective, what you're talking about is the same kind of direction that they're claiming all these other countries are going in. I mean, think about, I'll come back to that a second, the idea of Iran and what the comparatively, but overall that you're talking about a fanatic position, right? The idea that this is somehow you bringing on a biblical prophecy.

Starting point is 01:22:03 How in the world is that not the height of fanaticism, even if you believe it's correct? And so then you're using this to conduct military crimes, killing a school full of girls, conducting a genocide, and then stand back and go, how is it possibly God's divine plan to murder 170 girls? It's not. Period. So let's be real about what this really shows us. U.S. troops were told Iran war is for Armageddon. Return of Jesus. I mean, this should be offensive to people who actually believe, well, you know, whatever.

Starting point is 01:22:37 The point is, guys, it's alarming for what this represents, even if you believe it's the truth. And it says a combat unit commander told non-commissioned officers at a briefing Monday, this was posted on the 2nd of March, that the Iran war is part of God's plan, and that President Donald Trump was in, quote, anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to earth. I mean, take a second and absorb that. You're talking about people in the military, the highest levels of power telling their average rank and file that not only is this God's plan, but that Donald Trump is anointed by God to take over a foreign country and alight the signal

Starting point is 01:23:20 fire of Armageddon to bring back Jesus. I mean, we have to take a second. second to realize how insane that is, not the sense of whether or not that is biblically the reality, whether you believe in that from a religion perspective, but the idea that, not that they're just saying, I believe that's what would be happening, but that they believe they are the ones to bring it to fruition and that they need to do so through murder, through violence. Okay, if this is what God demands, then that's not something I support. And I think we all understand that almost every major religion in the world does not profess to believe in violence and murder for the sake of bringing their agendas to play.

Starting point is 01:23:56 Understand that whether you're talking about Judaism or Muslim culture or Christian, all of them have their own weird things that you can read through and go, that's crazy, that seems extreme, that seems archaic, but at the end of the day, are rooted in morality. Now, everyone has, you know, someone over there is going to say, not Muslim, someone over there is going to say, but not the Jews, you're all wrong. And the reality is that the end of the day, the core point of most of these religions and what people absorb from it is morality.

Starting point is 01:24:22 And yes, then you have your fanatics, like we're making the point up right now. Him being a fanatic doesn't make Christianity bad. It makes him a fanatic. That's the point. And so overall, this needs to be alarming to people because what they're doing, especially if you, like I, feel that this is not the actual point and not the reality that you're actually using people's religious beliefs to drive on a horrifying, earth-shattering genocide, that we should be, again, the whole point is whether or not you believe it. This is being done through a military, through world actions that are objectively immoral,

Starting point is 01:24:57 that are, you know, anyway, I'm trying not to make it personal, but I think at the end of the day, it's hard not to, right? I mean, I have a very real moral problem with what they're doing all around the world. And I would like to believe that that's something that we can all share,

Starting point is 01:25:13 but, you know, again, people disagree on whether you think it's, like, Irani, you know, anyway, I think it's important to understand that this is something that is way beyond, what we've been told before. And in fact, is something that is a violation of their own policies.

Starting point is 01:25:28 It says from Saturday morning through Monday night, more than 110 and evidence by people that were outraged by this, 110, I think it's up to 200 now, similar complaints about commanders in every branch

Starting point is 01:25:39 in the military that have been logged by the military religious freedom foundation. I have the actual post from them right here. This is from the military religious freedom foundation. It says,

Starting point is 01:25:51 the complaints come from more than 40 different units spread across at least 30 military installations. We've already told you this. We reported this, I think, like, I don't know, close to a month ago, I think, or maybe a little less than that. The MRFF, the Foundation, is keeping the complaints anonymous. Why? I think we all know why, to prevent retribution from the Defense Department, which would be a crime, but we know they would do it. You're not, you know, that you speak out or you, you know, they are going after anybody that breaks rent.

Starting point is 01:26:21 look, this is a crime. What they're doing is an illegal crime. If there's ever been a whistleblower that is a genuine, that would be this right here for someone to stand up and say what they're doing is a crime. Even though they'll know it, it would help that momentum. But it says, MRFF, and I mean somebody that was a part of what they did, right? Speak up and say that I was in the plane.

Starting point is 01:26:40 We bombed those girls' school. The Foundation President and the founder, Mikey Weinstein, a veteran of the Air Force and the Reagan White House told me the article here, the Jonathan Larson substack, that since the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran early Saturday morning, the MRFF has been inundated with similar complaints, which makes me happy, showing you the people in the military, by the way, right now I guarantee there's people already going, those are probably people that don't believe in Christian. No, guess what? Most of them are Christians who are outraged about why they're doing this and that they find it

Starting point is 01:27:14 blasphemous. They find it insulting. Remember that. It says these calls have one damn thing, oh, hold on, I skip this, told me eerily, you know, that was right. So it says, these calls have one damn thing in freaking common. Our MFR, the foundation's clients, service members who seek the foundation's aid, report the unrestricted euphoria of their commanders and command chains as to how this new biblically sanctioned war is clearly an undeniable sign of the expedition's approach of the fundamentalist Christian end times as vividly described in the New Testament book of the Revelation. Yeah, totally not religious fanatics. Many of their command, I mean, let's be clear

Starting point is 01:27:55 here. Is Iran saying they're fighting to bring on some biblical prophecy? Not that I can see. In fact, they're not even arguing they're doing anything outside of not seeking nuclear weapons from a religious perspective as it pertains to this conversation. So how easy is it to see which one is the fanatic in this conversation? Many of their commanders are especially delighted. And again, to be clear, that's not good, bad. You could argue they're still fanatical. But it's pretty clear which one is leaning in the like which one is tilting the scales put it that way many of the commanders are especially delighted with how graphic this battle will be zeroing in on how bloody all of this must become in order to fulfill and be in a hundred percent accordance with fundamentalist

Starting point is 01:28:37 christian end of the world estiology now realize what they're saying there so that means that the bloodiness is a necessity for the way they view the fundamentalist end times idea that's a zionist extremist fanatic mindset. This is the idea of, I mean, look, if you listen to what Zionists have been telling you since the beginning of this, the Amelette conversation, the guys they towed around, speaking to IDF before they all went out, telling them to kill all their children, to not live one of them alive, these are public statements that were openly given. That's why, because what you're talking about is some kind of, I mean, I don't want to get

Starting point is 01:29:13 into the religious side of this. is something that is completely disconnected from what any moral person would argue is somehow aligned with, you know, whatever religion you think you're a part of. Like what religion are you out there that you're a part of believe that we should be murdering civilization to justify what you think is in your interest? It is wrong in every possible sense of what we're talking about.

Starting point is 01:29:38 It is immoral, it is illegal, it is disgusting. And what they're doing is telling people, in our military that they need this to be bloody and dated because this will bring on what they believe is the end times. Weinstein cited constitutional and uniform code of military justice prohibitions against injecting religious beliefs into military instruction or messaging. So they don't care. They're violating their own code of conduct. They don't care. What does that show you? It shows me that these people aren't even representing military, U.S. military perspectives. It's coming from somewhere else. Weinstein added that the M.R.

Starting point is 01:30:14 RFF receives similar complaints about Christian esiology, end of the world theology. Quote, whenever this SHIT blows up with Israel in the Middle East, well, what a surprise. It's almost like there's a correlation that every time Israel does something like this, that this thing happens to be pushed into our conversation. What a coincidence. After the October 7, 2020, 3 discussion, Hamas attack on Israel, for instance, the MRFF reported a complaint about an Air Force commander. who said at a briefing that, now remember, this is post-October 7, 2023,

Starting point is 01:30:50 an Air Force commander said, quote, the war between Israel and Hamas has all been foretold by the book of Revelation in the gospel of Jesus Christ, and no one can do anything about that. That wasn't 26. That was October 7, 2023, and he jumped up and said, this is it. Okay. So you could argue that means that this is just what Christians believe, which I don't necessarily argue in a general sense.

Starting point is 01:31:14 But what I see this as, and I mean that end of like, you know, there are very clear overlaps with these beliefs that exist and all, you know, and I argue it's fanaticism. I think this is extreme. Not the sense that there is a, you know, book of revelations or that there is some kind of an end times, but the idea that you can somehow do what you think you need to do to like initiate that. Like think about the hubris of that. I mean, this is the same thing what you talk about with the idea of what Zionism does.

Starting point is 01:31:40 Genetically engineering a red heifer. Well, when the reality is that's supposed to, to be something that God is like giving you as a sign, but somehow you can make it and act like you did that. That's what Zionism is in its essence. You took this land. You were given it by the British government, but then it's somehow your God-given land. It's insane. And so my point is not taking issue with whether you believe these things or not. It's about thinking that you somehow have the ability or the right to just do what you think on the ground and have that bring on what you think is the biblical prophecy. The hubris is overwhelming. And frankly, I think half these people

Starting point is 01:32:13 don't even really believe this. People like the Zionists we talk about, they use people who do. Either way, you know, like there's not a word. This is alarming, guys, like so far over the top. Now here's the actual email. Unit combat readiness briefing in Armageddon. It says, this morning, our commander opened up the combat readiness status briefing by urging us not to be afraid as to what is happening with our combat operations in Iran right now. He urged us to tell our troops that this was, quote, all part of God's divine plan. That's a direct quote. And he specified, which, by the way, would be a violation of their conduct.

Starting point is 01:32:54 And he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the book of revelations, referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ. He said that, quote, President Trump has been anointed by Jesus to light the signal fire in Iran to cause Armageddon and mark his return to Earth. I wasn't going to say one thing there. it was, let's see. Anyway, continuing, he says, besides myself, I am reaching out to the foundation on behalf of 15 fellow troops. I can only tell you that I am Christian, and at least 10 of the others are also Christian. One of the others is Jewish. One of them is Muslim. There's a lot of people represented in all sides of this, but largely a Christian group that spoke up and said this is

Starting point is 01:33:36 inappropriate. It says, I and my fellow troops know that it is completely wrong to have to suffer through what our commander said today. It is not just the separation of church in the state, as we discussed. It's the fact that our commander feels as though he is fully supported and justified by the entire combat unit's name withheld, it says, chain of command to inflict his Armageddon views of our attack on Iran and on those of us beneath him in the chain of command. Now, okay, we're being told that this weirdly, this Iran-focused thing is the Armageddon,

Starting point is 01:34:07 not Gaza, not this, which is what they were saying sort of then as well. So seemingly, seemingly whatever Israel gets involved in is now Armageddon, sort of makes sense with your hubris and narcissism. but okay let's say that this fails, which is where it seems it's going. Then what? So you failed at Armageddon. What does that mean?

Starting point is 01:34:23 Right? So does that mean it never was? Or does that mean that you are not the side you think you are? Like, how do you interpret that if you've been telling people this is it and it doesn't happen? Well, that's what ultimately worries me with what Israel might drive to the table. But continuing on this point, again, you can read this directly from their foundation. Even the Guardian covered this. We covered this.

Starting point is 01:34:43 I think this was the actual platform, the actual article we showed you. this was March 3rd. U.S. troops were told war on Iran was all part of God's divine plan. I just thought it was important to reiterate this today. Over 200 troops sending complaints. Now, I think I'll play this really quickly. This is a clip that he was shared in that other clip of Hegsseth calling Iran fanatics with what we just discussed. 60 minutes overtime.

Starting point is 01:35:12 Pause. Damn it. Didn't want you to hear that. Give them advertising. Come on. Gosh, I'm sorry, guys. This is very frustrating. I'm just waiting for it to catch up with what I'm clicking.

Starting point is 01:35:23 So give me a second. If Iran thinks they're going to atrit our will, they're wrong. Our capabilities are better. Our will is better. Our troops are better. The providence of our... Well, at the moment, that's something that people are becoming aware that is incorrect. Now, the question is, is he just that fanat?

Starting point is 01:35:45 Does he believe all these things, regardless of what the evidence in the table shows you because he's a fanatic? You know, I think he's lying, frankly. I think that's the narrative they're supposed to say. but we're stronger, we're better, we have all the cards. Well, that's sadly we're going to get to the Atlantic article that I was pointing to, but realize we all knew this before. You didn't need an old Iraq war architect to go,

Starting point is 01:36:03 we failed for everyone to know that we failed because it was obvious before this. But here's what he says. Our Almighty God is there protecting those troops, and we're committed to this mission. And you made that reference to the providence of Almighty God. Is there any part of you, Mr. Secretary, that views any of this in a religious context? I mean, obviously, we're fighting.

Starting point is 01:36:22 religious fanatics. Oh, obviously, right? Well, so here's the thing. What's wild to me is that what we just showed you is very public. I mean, this guy himself has spoken at end times. You know, there's the fate of the clip I believe was 2018 from her correctly, but he was speaking at this sort of Israel end times prophecy sort of luncheon thing. And there's many examples of him being very forward about this view.

Starting point is 01:36:45 So isn't it funny that when he's point blank asked by 60 minutes, he sort of shucks it and goes, well, you know, they're crazy. Oh, is that the case? you're not fighting for God's Armageddon, like you're not fighting for the end times plan that you told everybody. That you realize this sentiment is trickling down from him into the military,

Starting point is 01:37:01 largely. It's there from before because Israel was there before, but he is somebody who has been forcing this in. And so, again, listen to the way he responds. Why don't you own your beliefs, Hegg Seth? Are you somehow concerned that we'll think you're crazy? The providence of our almighty God

Starting point is 01:37:19 is there protecting those troops and we're committed to this mission. And you made that reference to the providence of Almighty God. Is there any part of you, Mr. Secretary, that views any of this in a religious context? I mean, obviously, we're fighting religious fanatics who seek a nuclear capability

Starting point is 01:37:36 in order for some religious Armageddon. But from my perspective, think about what he just said. Like, you're basically to describe yourself and you're all out of fanatics and seeking some Armageddon. Do you don't realize how insecure that is? Like, he clearly just tried to frame

Starting point is 01:37:53 it exactly what we just read from what their, doing as what Iran's doing, even though that's not what Iran is doing. Like, you have to realize how wildly desperate they are. Iran is not, they're not claiming to fight for some Armageddon. I don't even see anything that you could argue that makes that make sense. Where are they fighting for that? Where are they arguing they're bringing on an end-time situation? They're trying to make it about somehow Muslim culture. That's not what they're claiming. The only thing he referenced there that makes sense is the idea that they don't want nuclear weapons because of that God, you know, it's a

Starting point is 01:38:25 Fafqua in their mind. It is a violation of their beliefs. But I just think that's really worth reflecting on that this quite, we know that's what he believes, and he can't even own that. And he has to shuck it off on them, even though he knows that's what they actually believe. Guys, he knows that we think he's crazy. That's why I see. That's how I read that. And it also shows they know that not everybody here believes what they believe. At least that's what they think. And I think they're right. Obviously, I'm a man of faith who encourages our troops to lean into their, they're having to scoot and shoot because they can.

Starting point is 01:38:55 Meaning, you know, if you're not under threat, just like come on. And President's been right to say there will be casualties. Things like this don't happen. It doesn't mean they won't have something to go through as we tragically saw the weight. I'm going to stop mentioning it. The providence of our Almighty God is there protecting those troops

Starting point is 01:39:18 and we're committed to this mission. And you made that reference to the Providence of Almighty God. Is there any part of you, Mr. Secretary, that views any of this in a religious context? I mean, obviously, we're forced. fighting religious fanatics who seek a nuclear capability in order to, for some religious Armageddon. Oh, yeah.

Starting point is 01:39:36 From my perspective, I mean, obviously, I'm a man of faith who encourages our troops to lean into their faith, rely on God. There's no atheists. Oh, yeah? Or is it only your faith? Are we pretending right now he's encouraging his Muslim soldiers to lean into their faith? No, he's not. He's actually aggressively making it a different conversation if you listen to what he's saying.

Starting point is 01:39:56 He's talking, he makes this clear in many interviews. It's about Christianity. And you may agree with them. But you have to understand this is not a country that has framed itself as a monothea. This is a country that's supposed to be open to people's religious beliefs and their different speech and the different. Yeah, that's not the truth, though. It's what we believe as people, at least I think the majority, it's not what our government has ever really thought. Understand that.

Starting point is 01:40:16 And what he's trying to do is play that whole thing. In foxholes, your mortality is right in front of you. I remember prayer for me on combat missions, how important that was. That's why we're making the chaplain corps great again. active again, making sure we're pouring into the faith of our troops. My Christian faith, faith in general, is important to the president. Chaplain, in our fighting ranks, to give them perspective, you know, on human nature. Perspective, your, on their own humanity, on our own mortality.

Starting point is 01:40:48 And we lost a lot of that with sort of self-help, self-esteem nonsense, which is not what troops need. They need a connection with their Almighty God in these moments. And I'm proud of how our troops are conducting themselves. and I pray for them every day. There were some who interpreted Mr. Secretary, which you said earlier in the week, that reporting about casualties is done to make the president look back.

Starting point is 01:41:11 There are more points we could get into, but overall, I mean, it's very clear what he's pushing, you know, the ideas about their perspective. I mean, you listen to them, and they will tell you that Muslim culture is a problem. So in what world would he be leaning into whatever fate they have? I mean, you don't need, that doesn't take some major insight to realize

Starting point is 01:41:30 that he just doesn't, I mean, this is a coward. That's a coward. That is somebody who was hiding his own beliefs because he knows you think they'll create that. Or whatever he thinks you'll think or whatever his perception is, he's hiding his beliefs from you. If you're so passionate, why wouldn't you be, well, when you own those because he knows,

Starting point is 01:41:49 well, again, that's my opinion. I think he believes that we think he's crazy and I think he's right. I mean, but this is not something guided by anything other than what another element is driving. And I think that's very clear. As we get into the Iran part of this, and hopefully the part we already showed you, I mean, people, former agents, former members of government are telling you, Israel controls what we're doing.

Starting point is 01:42:12 Former military colonels are going, they control our policy. Finding it hard to believe we can't at least open our minds of that. You know, I think most people here are on that path. So on a larger point of this, going back to maybe the false flag discussion, dressing up like CIA agents to pretend to be something to get Muslim elements to act the way you want them to,

Starting point is 01:42:29 here is Iraq. Something we've talked about a lot in fact, in the past. Israel built and defended a secret Iran war base in Iraq. This is from May 9th. And it only goes back to sort of like the earlier stages, like I think post-12-day war in the right now. But this is not even new for that, guys. This is something I covered many times over the years.

Starting point is 01:42:49 Just briefly, you remember this. Israeli forces getting into Iraq on forged U.S. passports. Remember that story? We were telling you that the U.S. government was facilitating forged documents for Israel to be able to facilitate false. flags and operations through Iraq that they would blame on anybody else? Yes. No, it got no attention because nobody really talked about it. Press TV talked about it. But of course, we were there telling you because it was true.

Starting point is 01:43:11 Now, it becomes even more important to think about in that context. They built bases in Iraq, which shouldn't surprise you. They're doing it all over Syria, but now they've taken control of that like they have in Iraq. But in this case, you still have the U.S. pretending to be occupying, or rather pretending to be somehow involved with Iraq's government while they continue to illegally occupy them. and what this shows you is the planning, one, for the thing they said was fighting for peace. They were in negotiations for diplomacy

Starting point is 01:43:36 while they were planning to attack from this location, like we already know, but also that they're violating sovereignty of foreign countries and they don't even care. And in fact, when they try to stop them, they bomb them because they're the good guys, right? Israel set up a clandestine military outpost in the Iraqi desert to support its air campaign against Iran,

Starting point is 01:43:53 you know, the illegal campaign that it is, and launched airstrikes against Iraqi troops who almost discovered it. So literally, Iraqi troops who are supposed to be supporting or like getting support from the U.S. government, right? Tried to go and say, hey, what's this thing happening here? And they bombed them when they tried to look close to the base. Twice.

Starting point is 01:44:11 That's the story. Israel built an installation which housed, you know, using forged passport information from the United States government to conduct secretly throughout Iraq. Israel built the installation, which housed special forces and served as a logistical hub for the Israeli Air Force just before the war started with knowledge of the U.S. Right. So the U.S. knew they allowed it, violated the sovereignty of Iraq because they don't care. There's nothing that's out of balance for them and allowed them to build this base, which is illegal. It's via the sovereignty. And then, of course, the point was we built the base because the plan was to attack them. You could argue that they did all this just in case, but clearly with everything else we can see, they plan to violate the diplomacy discussion and bomb them within that because of this.

Starting point is 01:44:51 Or rather, not because they built the base, but rather the plan was to do so and they carried it out. when a U.S. F-15 jet shot down, was shot down in Iran. This was allegedly the rescue operation. The Israelis offered to help. But U.S. forces managed the rescue of two airmen themselves. One of the people said, Israel did carry out air strikes to help protect the operation. Well, that's interesting to me, because if you've been paying attention, I think you're at least considering that those pilots never existed. Or even worse, that they let them die and pretended to rescue them while they tried to take the whatever they said they were taking from Iran.

Starting point is 01:45:26 Well, the reality of whether or not the pilot was rescued or even existed because they shared that AI image. That was Greg Abbott or Greg Abbott from Texas shared that himself, then deleted it. It's an AI image. You can prove it. That's why he deleted it? They never released his name. So why would Abbott put out a fake picture of a pilot? And then they would never give him, guys, it's just, I don't think they exist.

Starting point is 01:45:48 At this point, it seems pretty obvious that they would have told us something. Who knows? The point is that ultimately what happened was whether or not the pilot exists, whether or not the pilot exists, This was an effort to conduct an operation that wildly went awry. Iran claims that in which I think we can prove, by the way, since Wyatt Reed went down there on the ground and showed you all the bombed planes the U.S. left behind that ultimately they got destroyed. They didn't get their mission done.

Starting point is 01:46:13 They came back and said, we did it. We rescued the pilot. And then no one, nothing happened, showing you how completely dishonest, disgusting, and incompetent they are. And of course, Israel says they carried out airstrikes. I just think it's interesting. Don't you wonder whether or not there might be more to that story? I wonder maybe somebody else bombed them. I mean, at this point, just for sake of consideration,

Starting point is 01:46:32 I don't think anything is outside of the realm of possibility for this belligerent country. But overall, the point is where back to the, where were again the, oh yeah, the base in Iraq. And so the argument was they had this location there to be able to conduct those operations and support the U.S. mission or who knows whatever else they did. The Israeli base was almost discovered in March. Iraqi state media said the local shepherd, a local shepherd reported unusual mail through. activity in the area, including helicopter flights. Military sent troops to investigate. Israel kept them a bay with airstrikes.

Starting point is 01:47:04 People died. Cool, right? So just a murder, murdered an Israeli-Iraq element that was supported by the U.S. government because you didn't want them to see what you were doing. This is Israel, guys. This is a crime, an ever possible measure. You're killing people who were there. That's their territory because the U.S. let you illegally take it.

Starting point is 01:47:23 You murder them when they came to look. You did it again a second time. and then you fled. Everyone knows this story. Nobody's used anything about it. They're conducting genocide in multiple countries. How do we not see what's actually happening? The Iraqi government at the time condemned the attack.

Starting point is 01:47:36 Nobody cared. The reckless operation was carried out without coordination or approval, said the Iraqi government. I mean, that's a simple point, guys. There's more too. The bottom line is that they did this twice. And they kill people. And they left, or at least they were told. They probably moved somewhere else.

Starting point is 01:47:51 But these are like side stories in a major, major criminal activity, like a rather criminal endeavor, which is their ongoing war. If this was the only, this alone story, like if there's nothing else happening, this should be a big deal. It is a big deal.

Starting point is 01:48:05 But I just need people to recognize that they are, I mean, the real point to make right there is this one. I'll read this in a second, hold on for the podcast. I'll include this for those that haven't seen it. Because this is what this really means,

Starting point is 01:48:21 right? Israel believes that it can legislate anywhere in the world. Israel believes international law does not bind it. It's made this legal argument more than once in front of their own government. They basically say on their own documentation, it's linked right in here from their Knesset document. If we can legislate anywhere in the world, if we can violate international law anywhere in the world, why wouldn't we be able to in the West Bank? Because their argument was why they should

Starting point is 01:48:45 be able to take the West Bank. Publicly make that argument. Our government is completely co-opted at this point. And if we can't see that by now, it's insane to me. It's so on the front of the conversation. what I think already made the point. Overall, it shows you that they plan the attack from the start, right? So they built the base with the intention to attack Iran, so Israel would be involved. That's the whole point. And ultimately did it knowing they were going to attack. And then lulled them into a position where they would murder their religious leader.

Starting point is 01:49:14 That's the U.S. for you. A lackey of Israel, it seems. Haret's report U.S. told Iraq to avoid the area where they built the secret base. And that's the same point. United States simply told Iraq to stay away from your territory. Don't go in that area that you own that you control because nothing. Plug your ears and ignore the story. That is what they're doing everywhere.

Starting point is 01:49:34 They're the good guy fighting for Iraqi freedom and sovereignty, hardly. Now, this is a story from 2019. Iraq's Kurdistan denies the presence of Israeli military based on its soil. Right. So just to remember, they lied. Guys, they lied because this has always been ongoing. Now, I'm not talking about the current example. I'm saying that Kurdistan has been a, the Kurds have been used in every one of these locations,

Starting point is 01:49:56 including recently in Iran. Now, they're not the exact same grouping of people, but it's a larger conversation. The point, though, is that they've denied it only back then that Israel was operating in their soil because they were. And the point would be to go back and watch their other coverage. Don't let this prove that to you. Look at it for yourself.

Starting point is 01:50:11 Question everything we're saying. The truth is, though, you can easily see this. And that's how they did it. We told you that way back then. They were forging the passports to be able to use them to get in because at that point they were being allowed through the process there. Now, Wall Street Journal's report, Murray follows up and says, so we now have confirmation that they successfully built secret

Starting point is 01:50:29 bases in both Iraq and Iran. How do we know they haven't done the same throughout the Western world as an insurance policy? I simply posted that with a meme that said bingo, recognize the idea that what we're seeing is the infiltration of the country. Why wouldn't they have done this in other ways all over the world for the same purposes they have? That's the point. And to make this even more clear about what might have just happened and what will continue to happen. Wall Street Journal report, same thing, secret face in Iraq. And Medell-Saint points out, well, that explains the false flag kamikaze drone attacks carried out in that region.

Starting point is 01:51:08 And it says drone strike on the U.S. embassy in Saudi Arabia was, in fact, a false flag from Israel. Of course, that's Iran arguing that. So question it. Iran could be lying. But realize there's many examples of this that I do think was the case. It's not out of the possibility that Iran would do any of these things. Crimes are not. And I mean that.

Starting point is 01:51:26 but I do believe that most of these groups act in what's in their interest. And it's not in their interest to do many of the things they're claiming. Now, the UAE over part from a couple days ago, there's more that had been developing there. Iran, it still seems to argue they weren't involved. So we should consider that. But ultimately, like I said, there's one of them that does make sense for them to do. And now there's more that's developed there. We'll get to in a second because it seems that this was more of a larger response.

Starting point is 01:51:52 In regard to the UAE location, the ship that was allegedly bombed. And my point is that we do know that the Israeli government, one, does conduct type of operations like this, has been caught conducting operations like this. And ultimately this is in their interest to make it appear as if Iran is belligerently attacking groups that they might not want to drive further into the hands of Israel and United States. And with the base, it simply gives them a base of operations to do so from a way that they can blame Iran, guys. Because what do they say? It's the PMU. It's the Iranian Kurds. It's the Iranian Kurds.

Starting point is 01:52:24 It's the Iran groups in Iraq. Well, it wasn't. And I think this is obvious at this point. Now, in regard to, oh, at first we'll start with, I want to get into a moon of Alabama article about sort of the May 6th discussion forward. This is a really good job encapsulating everything in case you haven't been following the longer shows. But first, here's Donald Trump, Jr. Remember when they said Trump would get us into a full-blown war with Iran?

Starting point is 01:52:50 Times like these should make us all realize how lucky we are to have Trump. Trump. That was 2024. Even this Twitter platform says Trump got us into war with the wrong. It does. Funny. But of course, Robert Barnes says indeed, where is that Trump now? Everyone sees it. It's very obvious. You're either choose to ignore it or you're aware. Aaron Mott's age, just on an overarching point, says, I know it's hard for some people to fathom that Donald Trump, Mike Pompeo, John Bolton, could have bombed Syria on fake grounds, you know, lied about war operations. but for those heretics who are open to that possibility, here's some more evidence for you. May 9th, the OPCW has admitted,

Starting point is 01:53:32 they've admitted, concealing the assessment of German military toxicologists who ruled out chlorine gas. Now, this may not make sense to you if you don't remember the conversation. Aaron Mote did great work on this. The reality is, it was very clear at the time. The gas canister, the bed, the whole thing.

Starting point is 01:53:47 It says, as the cause of dozens of deaths in the supposed Duma chemical attack of 2018, And many of other examples in the same years, kind of this focal part of the conversation. We had great interviews with Eva Bartlett and Vesabili at the time. I mean, from Robert Fisk proving it to Aaron Mate, guys, they just kept lying to us. Trump was a central part of that lie.

Starting point is 01:54:10 Still is to this very day. So that point is, if you're grappling with, how could they lie to us about the, well, they've been doing it their entire time, guys, left, right? They've always been lying to you. So keeping that in mind, May 6th, Moon of Alabama. Trump discards Project Freedom,

Starting point is 01:54:27 another oil market piece of scam, lost in trust of U.S. protection. Now, this is May 6th, right? Today's May 11th. I went over a lot of this in the preview shows we did right here, but I want to make sure just to give you a quick run down and it does give good insight on this, and we'll get into the next point forward,

Starting point is 01:54:44 basically what's happened yesterday today. So he writes, each day is getting harder to cover the current war on run. I agree with that. Like it's just, it's like the moment to moment, narratives and lies keep blending together because Trump keeps using the same statements every other day that aren't actually true. Right. And then another tanker gets bombed. Was that the one from yesterday or the two from before? It's like it's just, I think almost deliberately kind of muddied the

Starting point is 01:55:06 waters. And it says each day it's getting harder to cover the current war in Iran. U.S. officials, comments and pads of actions are changing by the hour without any consistency. Operation quote, Project Freedom. This is humorous, but also alarming because of these people with lots of power and weapons, i.e. the U.S. protection for ships leaving the Persian Gulf. They announced Project Freedom on Sunday. It failed by Monday. It was promoted by war crime secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State

Starting point is 01:55:36 Marco Rubio on Tuesday after it had failed, only to be five hours later discarded by Donald Trump. Let me think about how embarrassing that must be, right? Doing the Hegs said the whole presentation about Project Freedom and then just discards it, which they did. The whole point of the project may have been just to get some negotiating advantage. After Iran countered the scheme, it was immediately discarded. Today's major news, this is the sixth again.

Starting point is 01:56:02 So far was a new oil market scam launched by the White House. Axios reporter Barack Ravid, I know, you're shocked, an Israeli intelligence White House asset who had announced the last seven of zero peace deals with Iran promoted another one. The White House believes it's getting. close to an agreement with Iran on a one-page memorandum of understanding. We talked about that. It is, of course, laughable to think that Iran would agree to any non-binding one-page doodle

Starting point is 01:56:30 from the White House. Still, oil futures dropped as soon as the markets opened. We talked about that, too, the insider trading. The news was obviously another attempt by the White House insiders to fleece the markets. He says this $920 million, which we told you in the last show, worth of crude oil shorts were taken 70 minutes before the Axios report. And again, you can argue that Trump's not aware and somebody around him is doing that, but it's still happening through that administration.

Starting point is 01:56:57 With the latest U.S. attempts to wrestle control over the strait, having failed, Iran announced its new Persian Gulf Strait Authority and its conditions for ships to pass through the Strait of Fremuz. Now, this is important. We covered all this as well. What's important to understand is that this is a formulae, a formulaic, or formula, I was going to say formulaic. formalized plan.

Starting point is 01:57:19 This is not some, we're taking control and telling you what to do or, you know, the way they're trying to frame this very clever. Iran is being very public about this. As I told you to go even before the 28th of February, Iran went to the UN, laid out his plans. And on top of that, made it clear, we think the Israel and U.S. governments are going to bomb us. Because it's all documented. I've already showed you on the show. And they said, if they do, we are going to respond to all the countries involved because

Starting point is 01:57:44 that would be our legal right. How do you possibly frame that as anything other than adherence to the law? Of course, they bombed them. Now, remember, on the 28th, they had come to the agreement. And Iran knew that they were going to do this, you understand? And I think they called their bluff. I think they said, fine, we'll give up our entire program. We'll give up all of our enrichment, which is what they agreed to on the 28th.

Starting point is 01:58:04 And Israel bombed them that night. They did it on purpose, because if they gave up all those things, well, they won't have the lie to claim they're doing the things they need to claim to justify their illegal attacks on the country. So the point is, now, after all, that after they got caught lying and after they keep failing. The point is Iran is not going, we're going to take everything for everybody and never let the street be open again. It's not even close to what's happening. They're saying not only do we have a new control mechanism here. We have shipping routes. We have tolls we're going to discuss because that's how every other straight and canal works in the world. And it is not international waters because

Starting point is 01:58:38 of where the clear lines go. It is literally territorial waters. But then here's the interesting part. when they effectively can build infrastructure necessary and create some kind of actual system through here post the illegal war from the U.S. government, well, that would effectively then change that dynamic to a degree, wouldn't it? Because now you have turned it into an international waterway in a sense that they control, but ultimately once it becomes that waterway, the idea that Iran could just be like, you can't, you can, it may happen, but it would not be allowed to continue. And, you know, there would, but here's that we're going to get into this a second. I agree with some of the arguments.

Starting point is 01:59:14 I don't think that's even in the cards. I don't think that's what Iran will do. Not because they're not capable, not because they wouldn't be willing to take control because every government will, but because it's not in their interests. We'll get into why. I mean, these are all opportunists in my mind,

Starting point is 01:59:28 and that's what ultimately matters. So at the end of the day, you have a situation where they are creating a functional system through here that will continue the normal operations once they initiate this system and the U.S. stops its blockade, which is actually what's happening right now.

Starting point is 01:59:41 And so what they're putting forward are there points for how this will operate? The most important points considered in the mechanism. One, priority of payment in Iran's national currency. And that's one thing the U.S. absolutely hates. Is it now if they're going to go through, they have to make it go through the Iran's currency. And this is what every one of these are showing

Starting point is 01:59:59 that Iran is gaining wild amounts of influence in the global stage because of what the U.S. and Israel have done. And now they're saying, if you come through, pay the toll like anywhere else, but it has to be in Iran's currency. insurance of guarantees in Iran's banks. If a country caused damage to Iran in the recent war, it must first pay the damages before obtaining a permit.

Starting point is 02:00:20 Now, you could argue right there, that's what they're so afraid of. But that's not just arbitrarily applied to just whoever they don't like. It's literally a people who are violating the law, who are violating international law. And they're saying that if you want to go through like normal, then you have to make sure that you're on the right step with us. Now, you could disagree with that.

Starting point is 02:00:36 In fact, I would argue that you could even say is illegal. but look around at what the rest of the world is doing. That's not to say it's okay because they are. The point is if both are, should be, if one is a crime, then all of them should be a crime. And the reality being that the U.S. does this all over the world. Controls international waterways, bomb ships in the middle of the ocean, they claim they're doing things they disagree with. It's hypocritical. So I find it interesting to doing this.

Starting point is 02:00:57 And I would even go far to argue that that is a point they're willing to pull away just to get what they want from the U.S. government. And we'll get into the possible deals in a second. Because I think what I discussed is what's happened. is that ultimately Iran is willing to give up some of these smaller points in order to get the larger things that will end up, which it will be a wildly obvious win for Iran if they get even a few of the things that they're demanding with the way that it started. And it says the correct title, the Persian Gulf, will be written in all documents.

Starting point is 02:01:27 That alone will drive, I mean, these are designed to basically poke them in the eye. That's not even necessary. They're doing that to put, they're showing who's in control. maybe it'll turn out to show that they're wrong. But that's what I think that is. Noncompliance with the above will result in a seizure and fine of 20% of the cargo value. Now, who's to say whether that's actually happening or not or whether it will happen? I would argue that last one seems inconsistent with what would happen elsewhere.

Starting point is 02:01:52 And we should make a point about that. If they do that, if that's, here's funny about it, by the way. I was going to say if they do that, I would argue that would be something that would be exactly what they're worried Iran would do and what they're talking about. but Trump comes out and says, we're going to destroy civilization. And he goes, oh, that was just a bargaining tool. Okay. Well, any number of things they're saying could be the exact same thing in reverse to say, we're going to demand this, but guess what we'll let that go as long as you give us

Starting point is 02:02:17 the rest of what we want. So we'll have to see how this goes. But be consistent in your criticisms, right? If you have an issue with Iran doing one thing, then you shouldn't be okay if the other side does it or vice versa. Now it says damage to at least 228 structures. We talked about that. That's the Wall Street Journal report.

Starting point is 02:02:34 It shows you that there's many, many, arguably 228 different locations that were bombed and destroyed because Iran was successful in their operations that they lied to us about. Gulf states have lost their trust in U.S. protection. The larger conversation being that they're recognizing that it's more of vulnerability. They're not stepping up to help them. And so at the end of the day, it only makes them a target and says, those who wrap themselves in America are naked was a famous statement from Egyptian press. former Egyptian president, Hosni Mubarak. Iran struck

Starting point is 02:03:09 the UAE's only functioning oil export port, Fujara. Now this is the one we discussed a second ago. Causing a fire and injuring three people. The fire ballistic and cruise missile and other Emirati targets, in total, the attacks involved 15 missiles and drones. The point was, this was their response

Starting point is 02:03:24 to what they were doing, and it showed that they can do this, which will dramatically change the situation, and what they're doing to Iran is not really doing so. So basically they have the ability to dramatically affect the global markets and U.S. interest with a response to what Trump keeps doing, which isn't changing their standing. Right. And so that's why I said that one, of all the ones we discussed around the UAE, made sense.

Starting point is 02:03:45 But Iran denied it. So we should consider whether or not they may have been framed for it. But like I said, it makes sense. This is a response to what they're doing. Now, overall, you can argue like I would in all of them, that targeting any of these infrastructure locations is a crime, oil and otherwise, whether or not they're using it. So they, but understand that what? the U.S. and Israel have created is what that is. They're the ones targeting these locations and

Starting point is 02:04:07 claiming it's all okay, civilian infrastructure and bridges and electricity. So I would argue it would have been in Iran's interest to not do that to fall to that level. And that would still be a crime in my mind, no matter what was started. But they're doing so in response. And just like Trump and the rest would say, this is what war creates. I disagree with all of that. But to claim that this is a big deal, then you'd have to turn around and say it's just a big deal with all the rest of the that are happening. That's what I argue. I think all of them are crimes. This attitude raises the question of whether U.S. bases around the world represent a security asset or a liability for the host nations. And the reason I frame it like that is because, you know, hypothetically, it could be that

Starting point is 02:04:44 that's not something they did. They denied it anyway. But they, just like I say before, could deny it because they know it's a crime. That would make sense too. If you thought you were buying American loyalty, now you're going to think that all that American base does is make me a target. while the U.S. is just as likely to sell me down the river. That's a former British defense marshal, air marshal. Think about that, guys. The whole world is recognizing what we've been telling people for a long time, that you are expendable. Kurds, I mean, anything, you name it.

Starting point is 02:05:16 The U.S. government will throw you under the bus the second that it needs to. And that's what's been the case for a long time, in my experience, watching the dynamic. And that's what now people are starting to call out. Trump, of course, had no other choice. but to sit still, a renewed bombing campaign against Iran would cause much more damage to the Gulf states and the global economy than it was already baked in. If the current war has a positive aspect, it is this. Outsourced sovereignty is a grand illusion. Anyone who had the delusion that the U.S. would defend anything, not in its immediate interest, will have to become sober. There is no advantage

Starting point is 02:05:51 to having a U.S. as a friend, in quotes, U.S. bases in one's country are nothing but potential targets. Now, if anything, what this shows you is a change in the global dynamic, right? This is a, you know, whether you know, over to the window, like the idea of what we can criticize, like everything is shifting. And it's not in the interest of the U.S. power structure. And that is what's causing people to kind of spin out, I would argue. Now, this was the show from May 6th. Iran destroyed these bases, the 2228 locations, the failed false flags, and Trump's

Starting point is 02:06:21 insider information. We talked about this in the last show on the 9th. Israel calls for direct strikes on Iranian civilian infrastructure. as it targets Lebanese civilians. So let's get into what has happened since. This was posted from Wynet News in Israeli platform, so bear that in mind. This was yesterday.

Starting point is 02:06:37 Iran rejects U.S. proposal. Trump totally unacceptable. Now, this just can't, it's always embarrassed. Let's start out of frame this. You'd think they would stop embarrassing themselves. The way Trump keeps conducting this. Now, what this turns out to be is ultimately,

Starting point is 02:06:56 even according to the Israeli media, and you can read this pretty much anywhere, is that Trump, rather Iran, said we're not, what you're demanding is not going to happen, like we've been telling you. And then Trump gets that and responds as it's unacceptable. But you see the way it gets framed, the way he frames it on true social, which all of his following, you know, Piper type, you know, whatever, the people that just go out and do what he's told or what he tells them to do or frames go out and say he rejects their thing.

Starting point is 02:07:25 Oh, he did, did it? Trump rejects their rejection of his proposal. That's a very smart way to frame that. No, he makes it look like he rejected it because he doesn't like being rejected. And it's just embarrassing. It's very small. I think it's right here, actually. Yeah, here we go.

Starting point is 02:07:40 U.S. President Donald Trump publicly rejected Iran's proposal to a U.S. proposal aimed at ending the war. Donald Trump publicly rejected Iran's response to a U.S. proposal aimed at ending the war. It's just embarrassing. called it a totally unacceptable. Well, not. I mean, it's him, but it's exactly in line

Starting point is 02:08:00 with what's been happening every single day. The only variance is what Trump yells that day. Everything else has been pretty consistent. It says Iranian officials responded through to seem news agency after his statement of totally unacceptable, which is affiliated with the regime,

Starting point is 02:08:15 saying Trump's response changes nothing at all. If he's unhappy, that's even better. No one in Iran drafts plans to satisfy Trump. The negotiating team, drafts them only for the Iranian people. They said to press TV. They later reported that Tehran had rejected the U.S. initiative because it would have meant Iran's submission to Trump's successive demands.

Starting point is 02:08:37 The Wall Street Journal reported citing people familiar with the response that Iran's multi-page reply lays out Tehran's demands in detail, but does not resolve Washington's demand for advanced commitments on its nuclear program. Instead, Iran is proposing an end to the fighting and a gradual reopening of the strait of to commercial shipping as the United States lifts its blockade of Iranian ships and ports. The report said, nuclear issues would be negotiated over the next 30 days. Iran's response delivered to mediator Pakistan, so not, so the game that they're even negotiating is not even happening.

Starting point is 02:09:15 It's through Pakistan, and it said, rather that they're meeting, delivered through Pakistan forward to Washington from Iran. they propose, diluting some of its highly enriched uranium and transferring the rest to a third country according to the report. Now, we should be very skeptical of that. Usually what's been happening is over the couple days, somebody comes up and says, that's not even true. Where'd that come from? And it's because they're lying to you. It's a report that we're getting through Israeli media from what U.S. says Iran says. So we should be very skeptical. But let's engage with it as hypothetical, right? Because I kind of get the sense this is where it's going to go. Let's not forget. I mean, let's first state this. Iran, as far

Starting point is 02:09:52 as it seems does not need to capitulate anything. That's what it appears to be right now, that they could literally last this out, save for some nuclear attack, which people are worried about. Iran could stand its ground and the Trump administration would have to eventually spin out. That's what the evidence seems to suggest

Starting point is 02:10:09 we'll get to what even the Atlantic is saying. So ultimately, it seems like it might make sense that Iran would, first, again, the point was that they just don't have to. But nonetheless, they do seem to want this to stop. And they do also recognize the belligerence, of Israel, I argue. So they end up doing something like this, where they, if this is true, saying,

Starting point is 02:10:30 well, we're proposing, diluting some of the enriched uranium and transfer into third country. Right. So that's different than giving it up, which they already offered before they were bombed the first place, but we'll give some. And then hoping that then they'll say, okay, then we'll bow to these things we were saying no to.

Starting point is 02:10:46 And all that really does is allow Iran to have more than it was offering to give up before they bombed them in first place. So it's a win, win, win, win for Iran. possible way. And so you can argue, like I was saying, that they're giving points that are for, this is how you negotiate. Not, not, we're going to kill everybody. If not, that's not negotiating. That's Trump's belligerence. A real negotiation would be offering something that's more than you want so you can pull back after they resist. And then it feels like you met a common ground, and all you really did was propose more knowing you would pull back. And so in this case,

Starting point is 02:11:16 it's possible that Ron is putting forward things that are meant to be too much so that they can then meet them in the middle and get what they want in the first place. They seem to have all the power right now in regard to the leverage of the deal. Iran's response delivered to media or we read that forwarded through third country. Iran says it's willing to suspend enrichment. It says it's willing to suspend uranium enrichment, but for less than the 20-year moratorium proposed by the United States. If rejected dismantling its nuclear facilities report set. So it's projected outright, if this is accurate, dismantling its facilities, but says that it will ultimately discuss a moratorium that's less than what they said.

Starting point is 02:11:58 You know, who knows where it goes? I get the sense that it's them just giving them these things, which don't forget they were already willing to give up in the first place. But now they're working it to where they gain more for it anyway because of what the U.S. and Israel stepped in. I mean, this is not opinion, guys. You can literally map this out from where it started right now. The question is where it goes from now.

Starting point is 02:12:17 Here is Bloomberg. Iran offers reply to U.S. peace plan as Hormuz Crisis, Simmers. This is from the 10th. Now it says Iran submitted its response to the U.S. latest U.S. proposal to end 10 weeks of war as a series of incidents continues to threaten a shaky ceasefire. You got to laugh at how stupid that is. This is something that Saul Rod is going to town on in regard to Lebanon. Israel strikes, Bay route for the first time since the ceasefire. Like, seriously?

Starting point is 02:12:46 Lebanon says Israel strike on South Kill 7, including child. And she simply says, does that violate a ceasefire? Like, it's just, it's over the top. And so a shaky ceasefire, you mean despite the fact that Iran still says there's no ceasefire, that basically everyone says that they've, there's an illegal blockade, there's ongoing bombings, there's attacks on Iran ships, but yeah, the ceasefire. You have to realize, guys, the ceasefire didn't, it didn't start. The very first day they said it was initiated.

Starting point is 02:13:13 The blockade was there, the bombing of Lebanon. And Iran said, okay, there is no ceasefire. That doesn't exist. And it's gone forward. And so now every time there's some kind of a scourvers, they go, She's fire. It's not there, guys. It's not in effect. It only is in effect for the narrative to keep blind people following the corporate narrative. It goes on to say the U.S. President proposed that Iran permits passage through the Strait of Permuz and Washington

Starting point is 02:13:37 end its blockade in Iranian ports in the next month. The U.S. President proposed that Iran permit passage, which it already is, by the way, but letting the ones in the war go through and that it ends its blockade. So essentially, Donald Trump is saying, please please, pretty please, let us go back to where we started. That's what that is. The two sides would still need to negotiate later a deal over Iran's nuclear program. Of course, Netanyahu says, nope, not going to happen. And that's what seems to win the day. So Iran keeps trying to make the straight open. They keep saying, we'll make a deal for just this part. We'll deal with that later. And I argue even Trump is amenable to that. Israel keeps saying no. We'll get to that in a second.

Starting point is 02:14:17 Trump had warned the U.S. might, quote, go a different route if everything doesn't get signed. up, buttoned up. You got to love how embarrassing that is for him. Go ahead and say another 15 different ways, Trump. No one seems to react to it. They better not, or, you know, if not, then they, we will. If they don't do this thing, then we're going to do this thing. It just keeps happening over and over and over. Nice variant on it. If they don't go a different route, or, you know, what is what do you say? If a different route, if everything doesn't get signed up and buttoned up, way to mix it up. Suggesting an expanded version of Project Freedom. He's literally arguing that if you don't do this thing now, even though they already said no,

Starting point is 02:14:57 that we're going to go back to doing the failed thing that we stopped it for two days? What a threat. How scary. On Sunday, Trump said Iran has been, quote, playing games with the U.S. and other countries. Oh, they have. I mean, these are the moments where you really wonder, is Trump being lied to? Like, is it because how can you even say that? Because Iran has been consistent.

Starting point is 02:15:20 I mean, you can literally prove for yourself. Iran is saying, now you could argue that they're lying in the negotiations, but realize they're going through Pakistan, and you can see what they offer, and what they offer is very clearly the same. And then Trump goes, we're close to making a deal. And then they go to there, and then they say, no, and they denied it. No, they better not.

Starting point is 02:15:37 And over and over and over and over. It goes around in a circle. How do you confuse that with anything other than what it looks like? Iran is staying consistent. Trump keeps lying to you over and over. That's not debatable at this point. And so, yeah, they're playing games. Yeah, you're either wildly desperate or you're still lost in whatever Israel tells you.

Starting point is 02:15:56 Quote, for 47 years, the Iranians have been tapping us along. This is his true social. Keeping us waiting, killing our people with their roadside bombs, destroying protests, and recently wiping out 42 innocent people, unarmed protests, laughing at our now great again country, are now great again country. You didn't need to say again, great, now great country. God, these people are silly.

Starting point is 02:16:17 47 years tapping us along what does that even mean 47 years is a long time to fail to deliver the nuclear bomb he said they're 30 seconds away from making killing our people with roadside bomb you mean the

Starting point is 02:16:30 the Iraqi examples of the bombs that aren't even I mean he keeps repeating these things 42,000 that's not true the lie on top of the lie the roadside bombs is the idea that you were bombing people who were illegally invading Iraq

Starting point is 02:16:45 guys that's what they're talking about out. You can't keep framing your illegal endeavors as somehow the freedom fighting element that was bombed by terrorists. You were invading a country illegally. I mean, it just goes so, it's the same point with Soleimani. Solomani was defending against the illegal invasion of the U.S. government into Iraq. So when Americans died, that was them defending the sovereignty of Iraq. And Americans died because our belligerent, warmongering military threw them into a country for their control. And here we are, because of Iraq's now a bastion of freedom? No.

Starting point is 02:17:17 A Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu also warned that the war is not over. In an interview with 60 minutes, he said there is more work needed to be done. Yeah, clearly, because he's in control. Saudi Aramco, the world's largest oil company on Sunday, warned it would take several months for the market to return to normal, even if the straight opened immediately.

Starting point is 02:17:35 Should quote, trade and shipping remain curtailed for more than a few weeks from today. we anticipate the supply disruption to persist and the market to normalize only in 2027 says the chief executive officer aminnessyer of a ramco saying that if we don't fix this in the next couple of weeks there will be years of disruptions strip a ship tracking data compiled by bloomberg showed a tanker carrying katarri liquefied natural gas transited Hormuz this weekend It marks Cutter's first export out of the region since the crisis began. It was bound for Pakistan.

Starting point is 02:18:18 The shipment is part of Pakistan's negotiations with Iran. Yep. And that means that ships are going through because they're not fighting Iran. And Iran says, yes, you're welcome to go through. Like everybody other than the people fighting Iran. Meanwhile, Ramco and the UAE's state oil company, Adnock, are among firms that have moved crude cargoes through the straight since Iran effectively closed it. Bloomberg, you might want to work on your words a little bit, right?

Starting point is 02:18:48 Words have definitions, right? So hold on a second. So it's closed, but they somehow went through the straight. Hmm, maybe that means it's not closed, but just restricted. You know, I know you have your agendas that get in your way, corporate media. I just think it's hilarious. So these ships went through the strait since Iran had it closed. Cool.

Starting point is 02:19:08 No, it wasn't closed, as you all know, because you're not ridiculous, people. They restricted it to the belligerence. They made it public. They said, we're only stopping those that are fighting us. Anybody not is welcome to go through. And then the U.S. government lied about mines in the strait. Then they use the insurance company force people back. They forced them back with saying all sorts of stuff. And many of them are just like, I don't even know what's going on at this point. Is the Trump going to bomb me? Is Iran going to hit? I don't even know I'm not going through. That's what they did. Meanwhile, Iran said, everyone's welcome to go through except those fighting us and have proven that every single day with those that actually do.

Starting point is 02:19:41 Again, in the beginning, what did I say? Well, I don't know, maybe they're lying. Maybe that's only for some and others. Maybe they're lying about it and letting only their friends go through. I don't know. We'll find out, right? And every day you go past it, you can look and see what's actually happening. That's what I've been saying the entire time.

Starting point is 02:19:57 U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright signaled Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press that the U.S. may give priority to reopening Hormuz over its demand for an end to Iran's nuclear program. Nope, Netanyahu said no, it's not going to happen. asked about the possibility of an interim deal that might not fully address the nuclear issue. He said, certainly, that's got to be possible. You got to love that answer, right?

Starting point is 02:20:17 That's somebody who does not seem to know what's going. That's got to be something we can do. Nope. Israel's the one in control, and they said no. I think it speaks volumes that he answered like that, doesn't it? Now, Matt Daniel McAdams, citing what Iran's public broadcasting account here says, IRIB, it says details of Iran's response to the U.S. plan, which Trump called on alexander.

Starting point is 02:20:38 acceptable. Well, so here's what he said was totally unacceptable and realized all it really was Iran standing by what they demanded and Trump not liking that and acting like he. And again, Iran said, we don't accept what you're doing. And then Trump framed it as him refusing them. That's just embarrassing. It says the necessity for the U.S. to pay war damages to Iran. Now, I've said in the beginning, that's going to be one of the most difficult because of the constant arguments he makes about Obama what he lies about. We'll read about, we'll read something about that a second. We went over this a million times. It was money they stole from Iran that they returned. It's simple as that. It's so when he ultimately does it, which seems like that's

Starting point is 02:21:16 going to have to be happened, like my argument would be of all things that might be something Iran decides to let go so they can get everything else. That's what I would argue, even though they don't have to, even though they could literally just hold their own right now and make them do these things. Recognition of Iran's sovereignty over the Strait of Hormuz and of U.S. sanctions, release of Iran's blocked assets. What monsters, right? What terrorists. They're like demanding all your women. We want all of your, you know, it's like, no, they just want what you have of theirs. What a bunch of terrorists they are. The necessity for that basically give us back what you get, what you've taken from all that you've done to us, this legal war, recognized we control the

Starting point is 02:21:56 area, which they have for a long time in a security sense anyway, not necessarily in a legal sense, but in the sense that we all know, as everyone's always talked about, that this situation would happen, should the U.S. and as you'll do what they did. And here we are. So it proves itself. End of U.S. sanctions. Those are sanctions that are starting Iranian people and destroying their currency, which they've bragged about,

Starting point is 02:22:17 release of their blocked assets that U.S. is illegally blocking. Those are not unreasonable things to ask for. Maybe say for giving us money from what you did to us, which even that, even though it may seem justified, seems unlikely. But that's what they're saying is unacceptable. And Daniel McAdam says, if I were Trump, I would humbly ask for some changes

Starting point is 02:22:35 and wording to make the ending look better, but I would jump at the offer to get out of this mess I started. Of course, I'm not a narcissistic lunatic like him, so literally unlikely it will be so. But he's right. He's basically saying, let's just bend the word so it doesn't feel like I'm capitulating. I bet you they would even give it to him. Oops, I always say I want to leave that in. Now, this is a post from Margaret Brennan that says, after hearing the Pentagon classified briefing on Iran, war impact on U.S. weapon stockpiles, Senator Mark Kelly, says it is, quote, shocking how deep we have gone into these magazines, basically admits that they have burned through the majority of their weaponry

Starting point is 02:23:14 in the first, you know, engagements. We all knew this already, though. That was publicly discussed in the beginning. So Ryan Grimm simply says a trillion dollar defense budget. Most of it goes to foreign governments. We're all starting to realize, I think, but a trillion dollar, about to be trillion.5 budget, and we're almost out of ammo in like 40 days.

Starting point is 02:23:36 So the answer is to up it to 1.5. Obviously, he's joking. That's crazy, guys. Now remember, this is something that they're going, Senator Kelly is violating his stash security. You may argue that? I think what's worth considering is that ultimately what they're highlighting is that this is an illegal war

Starting point is 02:23:52 and that they're destroying this country to fight it. Now, I don't even disagree. I think technically, because I don't think that, well, it depends on how you view this. if you view the very act of, I guess, supplying the weaponry, let alone even conducting the war through the military as an illegal act, you could make the argument that him saying this stuff would be exposing that crime, which would open the door to whistleblown. I'm not making the argument because I don't think any of them are on our side, but it's interesting to think about, isn't it? And overall, it just continues to show you the people that are in the inside are letting us know what's going on that they don't like, which speak for itself.

Starting point is 02:24:27 because that is the reality. They are drowning in these lives. But of course, gone through Eagleman says, Mark Kelly's a traitor. Okay, let me get this straight. You may be right. Maybe they all are.

Starting point is 02:24:40 But you're angry that he told you the truth. Right? That's what, because no one's denying the truth. They're just going, how dare he reveal that truth? And so this America First Patriot, we're told, is calling you, you're outraged. How dare you reveal the truth to us

Starting point is 02:24:56 that Trump didn't want us to see that Trump lied to us about and put Americans at risk for. How dare you, you traitor? Right. Guys, these are cartoons. Like, this guy, I bet you he even believes that. I bet you he means that. But what's sad is that you can stand back and go,

Starting point is 02:25:13 that's who you're angry at? Like, I think they're all criminals. But if you're going to be angry, maybe it's the president that put you in a war you didn't want, the spent money you didn't ask them to spend for a country you thought you were against, to go to war and spend these munitions in the first 40 days.

Starting point is 02:25:27 and putting Americans at risk for it and destroying the agenda, that's not the problem. The problem is exposing that. Okay, got it. Thank you, Gunther. You're on the point. Now, this is an example of the Obama point that I think is well done. This is, I say that Chituya math, I don't know, Chingolum.

Starting point is 02:25:46 Now, he wrote this about Trump's post. And it's well done. I mean, it's exactly, we've told you this many times. He just gives you a lot more detail. First, here's what Trump wrote on the tent. The White House, of course, charred it, you know, they will be laughing no longer, except now, you know, like the funny thing is they say is the 10th and it is the 11th and they're, and they're all laughing.

Starting point is 02:26:05 But it says, Iran has been playing games with the United States and the rest of the world for 40s, it's what we kind of read before. 47 years, delay, delay, delay. What does that even mean? Delay? What, I mean, what's the actual implication there? Delaying what? And it says, and then finally hit pay dirt when Obama became president.

Starting point is 02:26:24 Now the real question is, does he not know what he's saying? is he actually believe these narratives, or is he just dishonest? He was not only good to them, but he was great, actually going to their side. Jettisoning, jettisoning Israel. I mean, think of what crazy it is that his, the Republic, they're screaming. Like you've got the Christian right extremes Trump supporting side that are like blind support of Israel. Most of his people are very, like half of the people that hardcore support him are of the mind that are saving Israel for last. That's like the Q side of that.

Starting point is 02:26:53 And there are a lot of the religious fanatics. still jettisoning Israel. It's just, it's like he doesn't even realize he was talking to anymore. And it goes, and all other allies. Right. So Obama screwed over everybody by what? And it says, and realize, I think Obama's a criminal. And I said, and giving Iran a major and very powerful new lease on life.

Starting point is 02:27:12 Hundreds of billions of dollars. And $1.7 billion in green cash flown into Tehran was handed over to them on a silver platter. Every bank of D.C., Virginia Maryland was emptied out. It was much more money than was a riot. I mean, he's just making stuff up. Most of this is made up. The Iranian thugs had no idea. deal with it. They had never seen money like this. No, it was theirs before this, actually.

Starting point is 02:27:30 They did have it already. It's just, you can't make up the level of stupidity. Really, it's just, he just makes up stories. Like, this is not him like confused. He's, I want to bet you that even if you believe part of the story, that he's willing to just knowingly embellish to the story to yell out what he wants you to think is the reality because, well, you know, that is generally what I think the truth is. He may even somehow bend it into his mind as the truth, even though he knows he's lying to you. That's what sociopaths do. That's what narcissism. does. At the end of the day, he's just yelling these things out, even though that's not anywhere in the conversation. And they're wrong, in fact. It says, they finally found the greatest

Starting point is 02:28:04 sucker of them all in the form of a weak and stupid American president. Funny how we say that now. Think about that. No more vivid example of a president being taken advantage of than Trump right now. You may think that's a one-sided thing. Guys, I think they're all ridiculous. All of them are funded and manipulated by foreign. The point is that Trump is being used more than any of them I've seen in the past. For 47 years, the Iranians have been tapping us along while keeping us waiting, killing our people, roadside bombs, 42,000. As he says. Okay. So, and this is the point that I think is relevant to remember. This is really important. This is for context. In January 2016, the Obama administration flew $1.7 billion in physical cash to Tehran. This money was not a gift or ransom

Starting point is 02:28:47 payment. It was the settlement of a longstanding financial dispute between Tehran and the American government. While Iran was still a vassal state to the U.S. and Britain under the Shah, the illegal occupation of Iran, it deposited $400 million into the U.S. Department of Defense Trust Fund to purchase military equipment, right, under the Shah. Then, of course, when the actual Iranian government took back control of the government, well, they just stole it. That's what we're talking about. It says after the 1979 revolution and after the subsequent hostage crisis, diplomatic ties were severed in the U.S. canceled the undelivered military orders. So orders they paid for, right? Of course, you have to understand at this point in time, they're not claiming to be in control

Starting point is 02:29:30 the government, right? They're claiming it was, oh, just Iranians did their thing, right? The Shah, that's what they wanted. The truth is they did it. The U.S. government was literally controlling it with Israel. The point is then, of course, the Iranian government fought back and took control. So from the outside perspective, the U.S. is just like, well, this is just, you know, we don't support either side of it. We don't rather, I mean, I shouldn't say it like that. They clearly took aside and had narratives. The point is I'm trying to make it quick. is ultimately they're trying to make it seem as if they weren't literally involved with the outcome on either side. They weren't the ones creating the coups. They weren't the ones

Starting point is 02:29:59 putting people in place. They were. And at this point, they were the ones that lost control. So what I'm trying to highlight is that from the narrative you were spending, you're just a government who took money from another government to deliver weapons that they paid for. And because a shift in government happened, you just decided we're not going to give it to you. So from an outset perspective, you just didn't do good, didn't make good on your contract. You violated what you agreed to. Pretty simple. After the revolution, they've canceled the orders. Now, Iran filed a claim, and this is so perfect for what I keep talking about. They keep going, your monsters and terrorists and belligerent, and they go to the international community. They go to the UN. In this case,

Starting point is 02:30:40 they filed a claim, a legal claim for the return of the funds at the Iran United States Claims Tribunal in The Hague. Is that what a terrorist does? And it says this international body was established in 8191 to resolve financial disputes between the two nations arising from the revolution. And this is through the Hague, but specific, it's called the Iran-U.S. claims tribunal in the Hague. And it says in 2016, the case had been pending for decades. Iran was demanding up to $10 billion in compensation to accounts for compounding interest because they were holding it for years, which makes sense. As the case was nearing the final stages in the tribunal, The Obama administration feared that Iran would be awarded an even larger amount.

Starting point is 02:31:21 Now, the way that things go today, they wouldn't even care. It's very clear that the way that the U.S. government left and right positions itself is that, well, these international bodies can't tell us what to do because we're not criminals or whatever. It's like the exact reason why it should be the opposite. And so at this point, but the point was different then, was at the very least, they were still trying to present themselves as sort of being involved with the international dynamic. And so at this case, like my point is today, if they got wrong, ruled and said you owe them $20 billion or Trump would just go screw off. We don't care.

Starting point is 02:31:52 At this point, he was worried they would rule and get even more money and then would feel bound by that ruling. And so instead, they decided to give him something less. You could please take your time to look this up. And it says they decided it would be wiser to settle the case outside of court. Even the $1.7 billion was celebrated by the U.S. as a victory. Essentially, we gained money in the process, right? Because we stole this. The interest developed. We didn't give them more. We made it agreement to give them this instead of what they would win in the case. Had Washington refused to settle in 2016, the final cost determined by the tribunal's education could have been far higher. The U.S. government explained that the payment

Starting point is 02:32:30 had to be made in cash because the effectiveness of the U.S. international sanctions had effectively isolated Iran from the international banking system. Well, what a surprise. So what you did to them cause that to be a necessity. Making standard electronic transfers impossible. Finally, there is no credible international human rights or media reporting that substantiates the deathful of 42,000 protesters in a recent crackdown. This figure is complete fabrication with no basis in reality. Everyone can prove that from the reality being the numbers they cite vary depending on who you listen to. All of this, the point is really going to understand that he's still citing this because

Starting point is 02:33:07 this is just like you could find probably 11 of the post that are basically the same variation of these different points. How is that not desperate? especially since he's making it up, or doesn't even know that he's wrong. Now, propaganda and cope with this out, we're going to get into the article, the Atlantic article,

Starting point is 02:33:26 simply says the article recognizing U.S. defeat in Iran was written by the most diehard interventionist neocon you could imagine. Now, I'm not sure how I take this. Robert Kagan wrote the article, Checkmate in Iran. We'll go through it. You know, because interesting, because there's so many ways to look at this.

Starting point is 02:33:45 This could be sort of a head fake. you know like getting you to think you know one way versus the other it could be that they just genuinely have lost and then they recognize at this point that you have to stop or we're going to lose the chance to do it again but or you could even look at this as sort of a divide amongst the agenda which is what i'm almost kind of leaning towards that you have you have this i this ideological drive and you have people even though this person is a zionist himself you have you have this sort of divide amongst the Israel kind of prophetic side of this. And then like I talk about the side that wants the same kind of control mechanisms,

Starting point is 02:34:21 maybe even technocratic side of it, but don't agree with the, you know, all for Israel at the expense of U.S. interest view of Zionism, right? And that's what I think a huge divide within Trump's administration is, like more so the people that support him. So keeping that in mind, I wonder where this fits into all of that. So let's go through. So what he says is a Zionist, Jewish, Israel, first. Warhawk, who was one of the most influential ideological advocates for the Iraq War in 2002,

Starting point is 02:34:48 if not the most influential. For decades, he worked through the Kagan Institute and the Brookings Institution, producing the language, logic, and policy papers that help spread chaos around the world and war around the world. He spent years begging for war with Iran after already helping lay the ideological groundwork for the ravaging of the entire Middle East. a catastrophe that brought death, damage, and destruction to tens of millions of people. Now, after finally getting exactly what he wanted in Iran, he's throwing his arms up and pretending

Starting point is 02:35:20 that he had nothing to do with it. Now, it's one way to look at it. And by the way, his wife, who is none other than Victoria Newland. It's like he's just priceless and alarming and terrifying. The neocon princess who helped provoke the Iraq war back in 2014, it's believed there are now more than one million casualties in Iraq. Kagan and Newland are power, a powerful. A. couple responsible for massacring millions, destroying nations, embarrassing the United States, and weakening the dollar in a just world, they'd be in jail. I agree. So let's check out this article.

Starting point is 02:35:52 Now, really quickly before I play this, really just got to grab something real quickly, but I'm going to play this clip that you've all seen many times. And interestingly, because it also references the Brookings Institute. And there's a lot of these different, the Washington Institute near East foreign policy, I think. And the one with Patrick Clinton and Closon and the idea of what these things do, right? So what they're talking about is these think tanks where they discuss exactly these kind of, you know, plans. And much of it leads to the chaos that we see around the world.

Starting point is 02:36:20 I frankly think that crisis initiation is really tough. And it's very hard for me to see how the United States president can get us to war with Iran. Which leads me to conclude that if, in fact, compromise is not coming, that the traditional way of America gets to war, is what would be best for U.S. interests. Some people might think that Mr. Roosevelt wanted to get us into World War II, as David mentioned. You may recall we had to wait for Pearl Harbor. Some people might think Mr. Wilson wanted to get us into World War I. You may recall he had to wait for the Lusitania episode.

Starting point is 02:36:57 Some people might think that Mr. Johnson wanted to send troops to Vietnam. You may recall we had to wait for the Gulf of Tonkin episode. We didn't go to war with Spain until the U.S. – until the Maine exploded. And may I point out that Mr. Johnson – Mr. Lincoln did not feel he could call out the Federal Army until Fort Sumter was attacked, which is why he ordered the commander at Fort Sumter to do exactly that thing, which the South Carolinians had said would cause an attack. So if, in fact, the Iranians aren't going to compromise,

Starting point is 02:37:26 it would be best if somebody else started the war. But I would just like to suggest that one can combine other means of pressure with sanctions. I mentioned that explosion on August 17th. We could step up the pressure. I mean, look, people, Iranian submarines periodically go down. Someday one of them might not come up. Who would know why? We can do a variety of things if we wish to increase the pressure.

Starting point is 02:37:57 I'm not advocating that, but I'm just suggesting that this is not a either or proposition of, you know, it's just sanctions has to succeed or other things. We are in the game of using covert means against the Iranians. we could get nastier at that. All right, let's get into this. I played that many times. It's important to hear, I just need to grab something really quickly.

Starting point is 02:38:24 And the end of the day is this is what they do. Just game plan. Like think event 201 as well. Like the pathogen sort of health side of it. It's the same dynamic. It's about war gaming out these kind of plays. So in this case, the question is, how does this play into it all?

Starting point is 02:38:43 This has been a long play. a long sought agenda. So I look at it one up to, either this failed, like legitimately failed, which is kind of where I'm leaning, to be honest, because of a lot of factors where they just didn't, and this is about reassessing and coming back from another angle, which is what will happen,

Starting point is 02:39:02 or there's more to this and where this goes. And I really hope it's on the first side of this because that would suggest that we actually have some kind of a lull here where people aren't going to continue to be murdered at least in the, you know, well, the sad reality is we're going to get into. We finish is Lebanon and Gaza and Syria. These are all still happening. They're still killing lots and lots of people every single day.

Starting point is 02:39:22 But my point is that I'm worried that, you know, that this may go in a way where this is sort of an effort to make it seem as if this is, you know, I guess floundering for the justification of something more extreme. And I, you know, but I'm leaning towards that this is likely, like, put it this way. As much as that's likely and we know they're capable of these kind of belligerent acts, it seems that it's not in their interest. and I always think that's what makes most sense, is right now the world sees them. The world sees what they're doing. The world sees what they are. And you may disagree with that.

Starting point is 02:39:52 I think it's very obvious. And so it's in their interest to pull back and wait until they can possibly change that view, which is what they've done many times before. So this article by Robert Kagan, checkmate in Iran. Washington can't reverse or control the consequences of losing this war. I guarantee this drove Trump crazy.

Starting point is 02:40:12 May 10th. It's hard to think of a time when the United States suffered a total defeat in a conflict. It's funny how he starts like that and then lists off all the defeats. I guess his point is sort of like, well, they didn't, you know, Afghanistan, Vietnam was like they kind of, they failed but didn't ultimately get defeated. It's like this weird argument. The funny thing is it's hard to think of a time when the United States suffered a total defeat. That's not hard right now. People can look back at one after another of their pretty consistent failures in foreign policy. But so a lot of this article is sort of framing it as.

Starting point is 02:40:42 this was a failure, but we're still strong and we're the best kind of a thing. Or you'll see as we go through it. The point is a lot of failures. Defeat in the present confrontation with Iran, essentially a lot of failures, but ultimately pulled it out in the end or effectively from a foreign policy perspective still gain what they want and that kind of thing. But defeat in the present confrontation with Iran will be of an entirely different character, he says.

Starting point is 02:41:07 It can neither be repaired nor ignored. There will be no return to the status. quote ante sort of like what it was before, which, you know, I agree in the sense that Iran has, like, because of their belligerent actions drove in a place where they were able to take control of the total situation and the security control of the strait itself. That was not happening before this. They were willing to make an agreement where that wasn't the case before they belligerently continued to bomb them during diplomacy.

Starting point is 02:41:36 So now that's off the table. But the argument that it will be some kind of belligerent control thing where they let whoever they want through and then deny, you know, that's, doesn't, I argue that's not where this will go. So no returning to the, the way it was before, the status quo ante, no ultimate American triumph will undo or overcome the harm done. The Strait of Ramos will not be open as it once was. Well, I could even agree with that because it will be open, just not the way it was before. But that's, I don't think that's what he's saying right there. With control of the straight, Iran emerges as the key player in the region and one of the key players in the world

Starting point is 02:42:11 And I agree with that. Like this is a huge changing moment for them with what this creates for them. The roles of China and Russia as Iran's allies are strengthened. The role of the United States substantially diminished. Far from demonstrating American prowess or rather the American government prowess, as supporters of the war have repeatedly claimed the conflict has revealed in America that is unreliable and incapable of finishing what it started. That's not new, guys.

Starting point is 02:42:38 Look to the rest of the wars we're talking about. Look to the rest of the agendas. talking about. This is what they've been doing for a long time now. And what's sad is the people like this are still trying to keep this sort of preeminence going. Like we're just, it's just a failure in the midst of our ongoing winning. It's just like sad. It's sort of like what Trump is doing to people that support him. Hashtag winning. It's like, that's just not where we are. And of course, the people that continue to claim this will prove American strength. You know, Pete Hankseth. I don't know if that's, if that's delusional or just dishonesty.

Starting point is 02:43:08 And it says, America's, yeah, it says, this is going to set up. off a chain reaction around the world as friends and foes adjust to America's failure. Now, he really, really wants to frame this whole thing as sort of like a bad thing for the world. I don't see how anyone can see it that way. Now, it very well could end up in a position where there's a new U.S. belligerent element that fills that role. That's what I think government will always do, which hopefully we get there. It doesn't take centuries and generations for us to see that's how it will go.

Starting point is 02:43:38 But all top of that, you could argue that there are, you know, whether it's, one that fills the rule or not or just other governments in general that the point is that a less centralized power structure, I think is always a good thing. But I think we should be aiming away from any of them existing. But I, you know, it's not an advocation for some multi-polar thing. I think I might, I just discuss this with Hervoy. But it's, it's, it still is a direction away for less centralized government. And I think that we should be leaning towards no government. That's, I mean, I think it's worth considering the people haven't thought about it out there. Check out James Corbett's work. Now it says, nor does.

Starting point is 02:44:12 Does it fear the anger of its populace? As a, it's simply saying that it's not possible, of course, but a regime that could not be brought to its knees five weeks, basically won't be bombed into submission. But it's saying, nor does Iran fear the anger of its populace. Now, I completely disagree with that. If there's one thing that this whole thing has shown us, or what, you know, in regard to like Iran's society,

Starting point is 02:44:35 it's the opposite of what everyone's been screaming. I mean, you could prove this. Like, one of the many things you can prove, based on what I said because of the unions and support for the protests, that just took a very sharp turn. And again, like with the protesters, the Kurds, or the arming of them, all this has come out. They literally tried to create a revolution.

Starting point is 02:44:52 They failed. They tried to arm the protesters. They failed. They tried to flood it with foreign actors. They failed. And there's no massive revolution. There's no ongoing protests, not because Iran is mowing people down in the streets,

Starting point is 02:45:04 but because they don't support what the U.S. and Israel are doing. It's very easy to see at this point, guys. And so what's crazy is that he's arguing that they're, you know, they don't fear their population. Well, I don't know. Maybe they don't. But I think what you can see is that Iran engages with their population in a way that not even ours does. That Robert keeps pointing this out that ultimately there's plenty of examples in recent history. Iran's people engages with the process and you see political changes.

Starting point is 02:45:31 When's the last time you saw anything like that happened in this country? And this is not about one versus the other or good versus bad. It's about the obvious realities that we're at, right? the reality that we can engage with. If you haven't heard me enough time saying that none of them should exist, you're choosing to ignore that. I think the reality, though, is that we can see where we could have been in this country and what our governments have continued to do.

Starting point is 02:45:53 Create a situation where they pretend to give you what you want and then do whatever somebody else wants. Anyway, continuing. As the Iran scholar Susan Maloney noted recently, quote, a regime that slaughtered its own people to silence protest in January is fully prepared to impose that. economic hardships on them now. Oh, is it? Economic hardships. You mean like the stuff that the U.S. government took credit for? You can't take these people seriously, guys. And on top of that,

Starting point is 02:46:20 the slaughtering of its own people is a number that has been proven to be false and has been proven to show you as they admitted, as Trump just said again today, that you gave weapons to people to go after their government to realize this is a lie. Okay? That's not to say good guy government. I guarantee Iran would kill his people like any government would if it was in their interest and they saw the need for it. I could be wrong. that's what I think governments do. But facts and evidence in the moment is what matters. And it says some supporters of the war are therefore calling for the resumption of military strikes.

Starting point is 02:46:51 But they cannot explain how another round of bombing will accomplish what 37 days of bombing did not. More military action will inevitably lead Iran to retaliate against neighboring Gulf states. Now, one thing I should point out, as much as they don't want to hear, you know, all the adversarial media doesn't tell you, despite the claim that they want to go off from Trump, no matter what, is that they were bombing civilians, bombing hospitals, bombing girls' schools, bombing any number of civilian locations,

Starting point is 02:47:19 right in the middle of Tehran, Israel and the United States. So what do you think that does for average people in Iran? They turn around and go, well, gee, even if I thought the Shah was going to be better, I sure don't want the group that's bombing my family. Seems kind of easy to understand. And so what you continue to see, because it wasn't Gaza,

Starting point is 02:47:37 it was all broadcasted and easily demonstrated that you were watching them strike all these civilian locations. And Trump says, I'm going to attack your bridges. I'm going to go after your electricity. What do you think people in Iran do? Just to make that point from before, it's very clear what happened here. Now, what they're saying is,

Starting point is 02:47:53 people can already see people that even support Trump and what he's doing, that more bombing will not get it done. And it says the war as advocates have no response to that. And of course, that it will continue to hurt the Gulf states if they do. Trump halted attacks on Iran, not because he was bored, but because Iran was striking the regional vital oil and gas facilities.

Starting point is 02:48:14 The turning point came on March 18th. Remember, this is all his perspective, but important to hear. The turning point came on March 18th when Israel bombed Iran's South Pars gas field, which is a crime. And Iran retaliated by attacking Cutters last raffin industrial city,

Starting point is 02:48:29 the world's largest natural gas export plant, causing damage to the population production capacity that will take years to repair. also a crime. If we're talking about the idea that's any kind of infrastructure is a crime, which I think we all acknowledge it is, all of those would be crimes. So if we're going to be some kind of accountability here for this, all of them need to be engaged with. But it also needs to be considered that the only reason this is happening is because this is what the U.S.

Starting point is 02:48:53 and Israel literally started. Iran was not bombing civilian infrastructure before the response of what they did, or rather the initiation of what they did. I still argue that doesn't remove the criminality of it, but it just on. understanding that matters to me. And it says, continuing, Trump responded by declaring a moratorium on further strikes against Iran's energy facilities and then declaring a ceasefire, despite Iran not having made a single concession. See, I think this is important because even though we're trying to give you like a double-edged swordier, it's still highlighting what we told you is the truth. Not what Benny Johnson told you, that's what Alex Jones told you, but what anybody in independent

Starting point is 02:49:32 media that's been telling you this from the beginning from a non-partisan perspective was telling you that they were losing, that they were failing in their agenda. Trump responded by declaring a moratorium on further strikes. Why? Because Iran responded and quickly demonstrated that they could do one thing and immediately destroy what you're trying, like cause the gas prices to go up, cause the global situation to turn against Trump because, I mean, any number of things. And that's what it showed you.

Starting point is 02:49:57 And then, of course, he'd go ceasefire, even though Iran was like, no, it's not. He did it for him, claiming he did it because they were willing to make a deal. They right away said, we're not even talking to. to you. That's not even true. And they didn't give one concession. Now it says, and remember this was written recently, the 10th, but pointing back to the different series of this over the last couple of weeks. And it says the risk calculus that forced Trump to back down a month ago still holds right now, even if Trump were to carry out his threat to destroy Iran's civilization through more bombing. Iran would still be able to launch many missiles and drones before its regime went

Starting point is 02:50:38 down, assuming that's what even would happen. I got outside he says, assuming it did go down. It's why anybody would think that's what logically makes sense. It's just more of the same happens. Now, I mean, I understand that bombing continually will destroy things, but they have built their situation to where that's not the concern. That's why they're bombing civilians, because they're, they've planned for this and they knew what they would do. As much as they could, I mean, look, here's the thing is you could, you could argue they could have taken more action to help save their civilian lives. But why would it be their responsibility to assume that these people will murder civilians? It should be the argument that nobody should do that and that they do,

Starting point is 02:51:15 they're the murder. You know, it's an interesting overlap. But point, though, is that they kind of knew this was coming. Well, it's worth considering. Just a few successful strikes could cripple the region's oil and gas infrastructure for years, if not decades. That's what Aramco just said, throwing the world and the United States into a prolonged economic crisis. Not Iran. I mean, they're already forcing themselves through one

Starting point is 02:51:37 because the U.S. has been doing it to them for decades. Even if Trump wanted to bomb Iran as part of an exit strategy, looking tough as a way of masking his retreat, he can't do that without risking this catastrophe because they will respond and he will not look like he was the last bombing. I mean, no matter what his choices are here,

Starting point is 02:51:56 it ends up making him look like he's a failure. Now this is what Kagan writes. If this isn't checkmate, it's close. In recent days, Trump has reportedly asked the U.S. intelligence community to assess the consequences of simply declaring victory and walking away, which guess what? We told you that a week and a half ago. Because it was a report that was circulating, wasn't getting a lot of attention.

Starting point is 02:52:18 And the point was that it was like fake news or whatever media lying about it. Well, it could have been. But I think we can see that was the reality that ultimately he was going, you know, how do I get out of this? We were telling you that's what it felt like, our opinion, within the first few weeks of this. And the reality now is that they're trying to find a way to make it look like Trump gamed what he, you know, anything, really. Like that's why they turned and said it's all about opening the straight so they could try to argue that reopening the straight was all they were ever trying to do. But nobody felt for that.

Starting point is 02:52:47 But any resolution other than America's effective surrender holds enormous risks that Trump has not so far been willing to take. those who glibly call on Trump to finish the job, usually the Zionist belligerents out there, rarely acknowledge the cost of doing so, which is American lives and, you know, many other things, unless the U.S. is prepared to engage in a full-scale ground and naval war to remove the current Iranian regime and then occupy Iran until a new government can take hold, unless there's nobody that wants that in this country, unless it is prepared, I shouldn't say that, Americans don't want that. unless it is prepared to risk the loss of warships conveying tankers through a contested straight unless is prepared to accept the devastating long-term damage to the region's productive

Starting point is 02:53:35 capacities likely to result from Iranian retaliation. Walking away now could seem like the least bad option. As a political matter, Trump may well feel he has a better chance of writing out defeat than surviving a much larger, longer, and more expensive war than could still end in failure. Now, one thing that Kagan deliberately fails to acknowledge is Israel and all this. The reality that it may not even be his choice. The reality that, you know, Trump may feel he has better chance of writing out the defeat versus the attack. Well, if he, if Trump just pulls away and Israel bombs Iran, Iran already made it clear.

Starting point is 02:54:13 You are involved in this no matter what you do next because you started this. So Israel made it clear. It's not over. And we're in control. So none of this seems to matter. This may well be Kagan's effort to alleviate Trump of responsibility for all we know. Defeat for the United States, he continues, therefore, is not only possible but likely. That is going to anger so many screaming like jingoistic America First blindness.

Starting point is 02:54:39 And it says, here is what defeat looks like. Now, I shouldn't even use America First right there, more so just like this blind America is the number one best at everything, which isn't true. America First is something that gets usually. misrepresented as somehow racist, it can be, like anything can be, but the point is about people that just want to put the country first as opposed to anything outside of it. Why is that bad? You can disagree, but it's, it's, of course, this is why I think Trump made that the focus. Because you have an entire country that wants American interest to be considered before

Starting point is 02:55:13 pretty much anything else. And then you put a guy out there that makes it about something else. And so then America first becomes bad. This is, it's, that's, that's how I would look at it. But it says, Iran remains in control of the Strait of Vermeus. True. The common assumption that one way or another, the strait will reopen when the crisis ends is unfounded. I see that I completely disagree. I mean, right now the straight is not closed. As I'll say every time.

Starting point is 02:55:39 But it sure is how restricted to people who are causing this, and it may bleed over and to any number of other groups. Overall, though, the assumption that it will open when the U.S. government and Israel stopped this war is one of the most. most likely and obvious things to happen. I mean, I would bet everything that will go that direction. Not because I believe in Iran or because I think their government's better than something else, but because it is the most obvious self-interest they have.

Starting point is 02:56:07 To immediately open this back up, they will be seen as the ones who succeeded. They will be seen as the ones who restore the flow. They will be the ones that clearly highlight that they're not the belligerent mind. Like the end of the day, it's also in the same. their interest because they want to be seen as a player in the world. They don't want to be seen as terrorists, and they recognize a gigantic financial benefit. On top of the fact that they recognize an interest in demonstrating that they can engage with the world and grow their preeminence, I mean, guys, if you haven't seen a bet, this is everything they've wanted, even if you think

Starting point is 02:56:42 they're terrorists seeking nuclear weapons. To play this role is wildly beneficial to them, which I get maybe one of the reasons people are worried that they're playing some kind of long game. it doesn't change the legality here. And so for him to say it's unfounded, I mean, I guess you could argue it's not proven. But it's like, what would be the interest for Iran to suddenly do this and just turn around and go, nobody can go through and, you know, it doesn't make any sense because the whole world will turn on them, which is exactly what Trump and Netanyahu wanted to be

Starting point is 02:57:12 the first case that happened. Of course, I could be wrong, but our track record is pretty solid on this stuff so far. Iran has no interest in returning to the status quo ante. says. Well, that's true. They don't want to go back to the way it was before because they have a standing in this. They want to take this position that they control the straight and they want to be a player in the world game. You did that, Trump. You literally gave that to them by your belligerence. People talk of a split between hardliners and moderates in Tehran, people being Trump's administration apparently, but even moderates must understand that Iran cannot afford to let the straight go,

Starting point is 02:57:47 no matter how good a deal it thought it could get. Now, just take it back a second. I mean, look, there are clearly religious fanatics in Iran. That's obvious, just like there are in the United States, just like there are in Israel. And very much so, do they have those sort of more fanatic-leaning, you know, Islamic sort of influence. That exists 100%. And that concerns me. But the idea, the split between hardliners and moderates is certain, like, what I think is clear is that you can see the government that's there that's, in my opinion, pretty unified what they're doing.

Starting point is 02:58:18 So whether or not you have hardliner religious elements that are driving. I think what they're doing is very clearly for the benefit of the government influence both over the people and the control over the people and the influence in the global stage and the control over the global stage. That's what all these governments want. You get the point. I think to frame it that way is to try to make it sound like that it's some kind of constant battle between that religion. It could be. I just don't think that's what's demonstrated by the reality versus the narrative they always spin.

Starting point is 02:58:48 which they've lied about every part of this. Why we listen to them the way they frame Iran, right? That goes on to say basically they, the Iran, where was it? Iran cannot afford to let the straight go, no matter how good to deal it is. I agree with that. That's not going back. For one thing, how reliable is any deal with Trump? He all but boasted of replicating the Japanese surprise attack of Pearl Harbor

Starting point is 02:59:11 by approving the killing of Iran's leadership amid negotiations. And he also floated that again. He also said basically, if you don't make the deal, will have to kill more of your leadership. He publicly said that. So why would they trust anything he has to say? They don't. That's already the case.

Starting point is 02:59:26 Iranians cannot be sure that Trump won't decide to attack again within a few months, right? Or Israel would anyway. They also know that the Israelis may attack again, and that they never feel constrained from acting when they perceive there are just to be threatened. Or just whenever they choose to, which is the truth. It says, having not only retained its potential nuclear capacity, but also gain control of an even more effective weapon, the ability to hold the global energy market hostage.

Starting point is 02:59:53 Now, aside from the reality of their nuclear situation, you could simply, you could always, that's a fair statement, retain its potential nuclear capacity. Yeah, that's fair. But of course, what he wants you to think is that they're secretly salivating about nuclear bombs, which there's no evidence to back it up, but who knows, right? It's just that matters to me, right?

Starting point is 03:00:11 It shouldn't matter that we can prove or not what they're saying and they're evidence of a longstanding track record of not doing what they keep claiming. And then, so why they would now, it doesn't make any more sense, especially when it's still a religious issue for them. But on top of that, that hold in the global energy market hostage. Why? Like, really take a step back.

Starting point is 03:00:27 Don't fall for the Iran framing that they're just, you know, Assad just likes to kill children. Yeah, sure, possible, even though that doesn't make much sense based on this interest. But who cares? Trust the government that lies to you about everything. And the same thing here. Iran just wants to hate your freedom or whatever stupid thing they yell out. it doesn't make sense for their interests.

Starting point is 03:00:46 The ability to hold the global market hostage would only make sense if you're a belligerent, terroristic entity that doesn't have any influence in the situation. Iran is building a seat at the table, and you want to tell me they're going to turn around and burn the table down? It doesn't make any sense, guys. It certainly could be.

Starting point is 03:01:03 I don't believe that makes sense. When the Iranians talk of reopening the street, they still mean to keep the straight under their control. Well, yes. But see, you can only, this sounds evil, when you make them out to be evil for no justification. All they're saying is we want to control the strait that's in our territorial waters.

Starting point is 03:01:19 That's not weird. Iran will be able not only to demand tolls for passage, yep, like every other location, but to limit transit to those nations with which it has good relations. Ah, okay, comes a different point, right? Very well could. Now, here's the two ways to look at this. One, I kind of doubt that's going to be the case

Starting point is 03:01:39 in a unjustified way for the same reason I made before, not because they're not capable, but because I think they would want to demonstrate some kind of, you know, what's right, we're egal, I know, it's equal, right? But I can't hear you wrong. But on top of that, you have a situation where the U.S. and pretty much every other entity does similar things. You, I mean, are we going to pretend like when they are suddenly adversarial with Iran, they're going to let Iran take passage anywhere they want? No, even if it's a civilian.

Starting point is 03:02:07 No, we already have seen that. So this is already applicable everywhere in the world where, other governments will make these decisions about groups they're adversarial with whether or not there's a legal standing. So all they're saying is now they get to do what we've been doing our entire life. Yep, exactly.

Starting point is 03:02:22 But I still would argue either of them will be a crime. I'd still be interested to see if they even do it. I kind of doubt they will because it's in their interest to present something different. But overall, demanding tools is normal, limiting transit to these nations, the idea being that essentially

Starting point is 03:02:40 if Israel and the U.S. are still bombing them, Well, then yes. But anyway, I argue that could be a point, which would be, that's a fair point. And it may actually be applied. But we'll have to see where it goes and understand that if it does go that way, it's the same way they apply it. Anywhere else they control it, the U.S., Israel, the same thing. If a nation behaves in a way that Iranians, Ron's rulers don't like,

Starting point is 03:03:02 they will be able to exact punishment merely by slowing or even threatening to slow the flow of that nation's cargo. Yeah, same point. You just elaborated the same point. I don't know why that would be in their interest. if Iran would suddenly, you know, just, you know, what's the word, unjustifiably, but, you know, basically pick and choose who they want to manipulate because of no justifiable reason, there's going to be an issue with that.

Starting point is 03:03:25 The world will make an issue about that. Hey, maybe they won't change. I get all I'm trying to argue, because people that think Iran are a bunch of belligered terrorists are going to act like I'm being naive. Hey, maybe I am. Historically, though, look at their past actions. They do not represent what you pretend they are. They constantly go to the U.S.

Starting point is 03:03:42 And they cut, okay, that makes my case. It may not go this way next. Historically, they do not fall to stuff like that because it's in their interest not to, whether or not they are what you think they are. That matters to me more than anything. Just historical accuracy, what they've done so far and what you think they'll do next based on those precedents. That's not always the case, but it guides you in the right direction.

Starting point is 03:04:04 Now, if the U.S. government is constantly going, there this thing and you constantly prove that's not true, at the same point in reverse. at some point you start to go, well, they're probably lying. Well, they keep making, they keep giving me false statements. Maybe, you know, same old point. In this case, the idea that they'll do that, I just think, it's not in their interest, so I don't think they will.

Starting point is 03:04:24 We'll see how it goes. This leverage will allow the leaders in Tehran to force nations to lift sanctions and normalize relations and war-based penalties. God forbid, their ability to have a seat at the table will somehow give them the ability to force nations to stop illegally sanctioning them. How dare we live in a world like that? How dare we normalize relations or face penalties, meaning stop, I said that's a bad way to frame it. The point was he says to force nations to lift sanctions and normalize or face penalties.

Starting point is 03:04:53 So what they're saying is Iran will now have enough standing to be able to say stop illegally sanctioning us or we'll do something about it. That's what that means, guys. And so you could argue sanctions are justified, but realize they're aimed at individual people and ultimately are starving the civilian population and percent just publicly told you he collapsed their economy. that's what that is. So what they're saying is, go God, Iran may be able to stop us from messing with their economy. That's what he's saying. Israel, he goes on, will find itself more isolated than ever as Iran grows richer and rearms.

Starting point is 03:05:23 Oh, you mean the genocidal government that's bombing everybody illegally might not have as much power? Oh, God, I'm concerned. It may find itself unable to go after Iran's proxies. Oh, man, like you understand, if you read the whole paragraph, he's arguing these are bad things. So now suddenly Israel is not able to just illegally bomb what they claim our proxies of Iran with no justification, no legal standing, no process, no investigation. Oh, no. He's a neocon, obviously. This is a classic manipulator.

Starting point is 03:05:54 So that's why I wonder why he's writing this. But it says Israel could face enormous international pressure not to provoke Tehran in Lebanon, Gaza, or anywhere else. Let me read that again. So this is how he ends this as, oh, no. Oh, we can't let this happen. Israel could also face enormous international pressure because of what Iran now gained, not to provoke Iran, who isn't in Lebanon, Gaza, in those locations.

Starting point is 03:06:21 So what they're saying is, oh, no, Israel might have to stop their genocides. Oh, no, we might have to stop what's happening in Lebanon and Gaza and everywhere else. I just can't even believe the way he wrote this. Continuing, it says, in the region, the United States will have proved itself a paper tiger. Again, the truth, and it will very much anger at this government. Now, here's a really important thing to think about. Is this just an utter failure from this administration, Trump himself or Israel's kind of undermining of the whole thing? Or is the U.S. not as powerful as people pretend?

Starting point is 03:06:57 It's a real conversation that Americans need to come to term with. Now, look, there's something to be said for military spending and military, you know, accrued mall, whatever, the collection of all of missiles and guns and tanks and whatever else. There's something to be said for what those two things represent, right? We've spent this much more than anybody, and we have this much more than everybody. But what we're watching right now needs to make you realize that we're not in 1990 anymore, right? There's a different world.

Starting point is 03:07:26 And as I think it actually addressed in this article, or it's the next one, I think. that reality being that this is a different situation, guys. And I think whether you have that many tanks or aircraft, I did a whole thing about this like five years ago, about the diminishing necessity of aircraft carriers because of the way this was going. And that they were like these floating two, like, they just, they were, and the U.S. had like 14 of them.

Starting point is 03:07:50 And the next closest country had like four. And it just makes sense. But it's because spending and military, you know, stealing money from Americans. My overall point is it might be the reality this country is, the government rather, is not as militarily strong, powerful, rather effective than what we've been told. Look at what the IDF just, look at what just happened in Gaza.

Starting point is 03:08:12 All the talks about the world's greatest snipers in this best military, and they literally, even if you want to claim their objective was just to annihilate everybody, they still failed. And they're still struggling to genocide the rest of people in Gaza while the world's standby as watch. They revealed themselves to be completely feckless and completely. completely ineffectual. And the only reason they were able to do this to a,

Starting point is 03:08:33 is because they were in the middle of an opening air prison, and they were bombed from above by US and Israel and they continue to do so. But anyway, you may not think so, but I think what we're watching is the kind of uncomfortable realization that this military is more so an illusion than anything. And I don't mean that entirely. I just mean that we're being told that all the spending amounts to power and control and the world's not, it's showing us that's just simply not true.

Starting point is 03:08:57 But what we did, what we know is true is that the money was taken from us. The Gulf Arab economies were built under the umbrella of American hegemony. He says, yet with Iran in control, the strait is not going to be safe again for a long time. Okay. Same point as before. He's just, that's like the third time. I don't know why that makes sense. Why?

Starting point is 03:09:20 In what world would Iran gain from causing chaos in the strait forever? I mean, think about it for a second. Like, okay, let's just say you think by taking control and dictating everything that they can have math, they just have control of the world. They can dictate energy control. They could dictate supplies through the straight. Okay, well, first of all, people would simply go around it. It would struggle and cause the economic issues we're dealing with now.

Starting point is 03:09:42 But the point is that everyone in the world would team up and stop Iran from doing that. They would not, that's what would happen. They would ultimately pressure them at first and then if not some militarily engaged because that would be something that would, I mean, that's what I would argue anyway. I can be wrong, but my mind is that Iran would not even go in that direction because that completely explodes what they're building, which is real influence, actual control of this dynamic. And you can disagree with whether that's supposed to be the case. But him saying it's not going to be safe, I argue is the exact opposite. I guess we'll find out.

Starting point is 03:10:16 In the past, most of the world's nations, including China, counted on the United States to both prevent and address such emergencies, meaning basically that somehow this guy wants you to pretend that the U.S. government was somehow the one stopping bad things from happening, right? Preventing and addressing them. I mean, are you kidding me? Most of the things we talk about in the world were in some way involving the U.S. and Israel. But on top of that, if it involved Iran, they couldn't care less. If it involved Afghanistan or Bolivia, they couldn't care less.

Starting point is 03:10:44 So let's keep pretending like with the U.S. as the control of the world, they make sure everyone's safe. These lies we tell ourselves. It's just not true. Maybe at one point. Even then, I question that. Just not true. But here's a good counterbalance on this. You know, look at what the U.S. government's doing.

Starting point is 03:11:01 Right? Why would the U.S. government be doing all of this? It's a good question. Is it in their interests? At the end of the day, to many ways, no. And that's why my point is that this is not in their control, that Israel is doing this. And aha, when you look at it through that lens,

Starting point is 03:11:16 every single thing that's happening is in Israel's interest. Hey, who benefits is a good place to start. But don't take my word for it. Look into the rest for yourself. Question all of this. But I think it's worth noticing on that point that Iran, it's all in their interest to basically do exactly the opposite of what the U.S. is saying. What the U.S. is doing is benefiting Israel's agenda across the board. And really, if you want to get into the majority of it, it's also benefiting the U.S. government interests, which mostly aligns with Israel, but it also gives them more military spending. It gives them more military power. And so at the end of the day, yes, it does seem to be in line

Starting point is 03:11:51 with what they want. And that matters. Rather, what is their interest? And it goes on to say, how long can they tolerate this before they start building their own fleets? Okay, the other parts of the world, right? So it says basically now the nations of Europe and Asia that depend on access to the Persian Gulf's resources are helpless against the loss of energy supplies that are vital to their

Starting point is 03:12:12 economy. Of course, this is if they keep the things shut down. Don't see that happening. But how long can they tolerate this before they start building their own fleets? Well, here's the point. Why wouldn't they already do that? It says as a means of wielding influence in every nation for itself, world where order and predictability are broken down, oh no. So what they're ultimately saying is we can't live in a world where the U.S. doesn't dictate what everybody does.

Starting point is 03:12:38 Am I missing something? Like how long before these other countries start having their own fleets and having their own decisions and making decisions for themselves? I mean, look, it very well may be chaotic. But I would love to see a world where people actually make their own decisions as opposed to one hierarchy, deciding what's best for everybody. Call me crazy. And that's what he's saying. And every nation for itself, isn't that we pretend is already happening? I mean, did you just basically admit that that's already not, so right now, it's basically every nation for one self? I mean, how else do you put that? And it says where order and predictability broke down, order and predictability?

Starting point is 03:13:13 I just think that's insane. They're building a globalist one control system, and that's the whole point, is that what this seems to be doing is causing a problem for that. And maybe Trump failed. And now he's being thrown to the bus. Maybe he was designed to fail. That's the whole point. The global adjustment to a post-American world is accelerating. America's once dominant position in the Gulf is just the first of many casualties.

Starting point is 03:13:35 Very interesting. Now, on that last note, I think we should consider this. I actually reached out to James to see if he wants to talk about this in another interview. Our troubled times, the West's engineered downfall. I've referenced his work on this like a thousand times over the years. He put this out in 2014. The engineered fall of the West. You guys have heard me say that so many times.

Starting point is 03:13:57 And I've always referencing Corbett. In fact, I'm sure there's somebody else, but I've never seen anybody go into it like this, this far ahead. Now, what I'm pointing to is the concern. What did a lot of people say in 2016? The Trump felt like the, you know, the great destroyer, the great divider, or whatever that argument was. And then, of course, it didn't really go that way exactly.

Starting point is 03:14:16 And then it kind of, you know, then by, you know, it good would point to where, you know, if you thought it was going to kind of happen around, Trump's ankles at that point didn't happen. So we move forward, right? And Biden, no Trump again. And so it's kind of people have kind of, a lot of ways put aside the argument that Trump was put in that place in order to bring down the system so they could rebuild it. That was one of the arguments a lot of us were considering. Is Trump being used as the guy that everybody's like, well, you know, Trump's a bumbling idiot. That's the argument from the left. And so you put him in the place

Starting point is 03:14:46 and it all comes down and you go, yeah, it's what we expected. It's worth considering, right? And so in this case, what we're watching now is starting to kind of feel like that again, isn't it? And what James has always been discussing is that there's an engineered collapse because this is a, it's like what Harvore and myself discussed. Or even some people argue what Bricks is meant to replace it with. That's what he's pointing to, that that's essentially the new globalist order just meant to replace the one we're currently living through under the guise of a multipolar nation. You can decide for yourself.

Starting point is 03:15:13 But what's interesting is that there has been in Corbett's mind at least some markings of this for a long time, building towards the collapse of the collapse of the. the West to bring in the, you know, China rule or whatever you think is the next step. I'm going to follow up with this because I do, I mean, whether it's with James or not, I'm hoping it will be, I just reached out to him today, that this is something we need to consider, yet again, that this might be being done around him and he may not even be aware of it. I'll also include a couple of interviews. This one was with James Corbett.

Starting point is 03:15:41 This is the one we just recently did, April 14th. Trump's great reset or is great blunder? In fact, I'll actually grab this one too. Hold on. This is my other one with James. See if this comes up. There we go. Perfect.

Starting point is 03:15:56 The one I mentioned with Hevoray is a very, very intelligent person. You'll really enjoy this interview if you haven't seen it. Hivorey Moritz interview. And it is a multipolar world order, the solution, or just the next trap? Include that for you. I'll also include this one with James. Both of these, we kind of discussed that point. This one was engineered division and subservience under a guise of resistance.

Starting point is 03:16:20 Look at how relevant that is. That's 2025. that's what we're living through right now. But we talk about it a bit. Then check it out in those interviews. Now, next article, this one from Jeffrey Sachs and Cybil Fares. Now, Jeffrey Sachs, I agree, is concerning in a lot of ways, but he has a lot of good things to say. Maybe because he wants to drive you into the next control structure.

Starting point is 03:16:39 You should ask those questions. The point is that he seems to be sort of calling out this dying situation in a lot of very important, very sharp ways. But then many point out that he's very much in support of the bricks and the, sort of the globalist order. An argument that he's more of a globalist than anything. Aside for yourself. My point, aside from all of that, is just that the statements are being made here, I agree with.

Starting point is 03:17:02 Whoever says them. And he says, the war on Iran, or they say the war on Iran will likely end an American retreat. Point out on May 9th. He says, the U.S., Israel war plan was a decapitation strike, sold to President Donald Trump, and this is exactly what I think, by Benjamin Netanyahu and the director of Mossad. The premise was that an aggressive joint U.S. Israeli bombing campaign would be so degrade,

Starting point is 03:17:28 would so degrade the Iranian regime's command structure, nuclear program, and IRGC senior leadership that the regime would simply fracture. The United States and Israel would then impose a pliable government in Tehran, just like they did in Venezuela. The Iranian government did not fracture. However, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, far from being decapitated, emerged with a tightened internal command and an expanded role in the national security architecture. The Supreme Leader's office held the religious establishment closed ranks behind it,

Starting point is 03:18:00 and the population rallied against external attack. I agree entirely. That's exactly what you can prove happen. And what's crazy is, what did Trump tell you? Well, three different regimes, we've killed like different layers and people and nobody even knows who's in charge. Again, that's really embarrassing. That's one of like a thousand things he said that you can prove or law.

Starting point is 03:18:17 So did he get lied to? and at some point that he starts to recognize he's being lied to, or is he just making stuff up? That's right. I don't know. You can decide. Hard to tell. Two months on, Trump and Netanyahu have no Iranian successor government under their control,

Starting point is 03:18:32 no Iranian surrender to close the war, and no military pathway whatsoever to victory. The only path and the one the U.S. seems to be taking is a retreat. With Iran in charge of the Strait of Pramus and with none of the other issues between the U.S. and Iran settled. First, he says several reasons. Well, first, just want to throw out there, which I'm sure we're all considering because, you know, if you watch the show, you know we always do.

Starting point is 03:18:57 But as always, consider whether or not this is the plan. I don't have much to really go on for that, but as always question everything. And it may well be that the plan is just to transfer into some Iranian lead, you know, whatever. Consider that. I'm only saying that because it's one of the many things out there. And we should be asking always, like anytime we see an event that happens, like I always, we say question that, you know, was this a fault, was this completely staged, for example? Even if there's no evidence, ask these questions. Go down these lists, look for things asking.

Starting point is 03:19:27 Don't let, you know, don't, no confirmation bias, right? Try not to anyway. No, anyway, the point to say that is that one of the concerns in all this is sort of the engineered, in that engineered collapse discussion, that it's an engineered transition of power. Again, that's not what I think is happening right now, but it's worth pointing out. Now, continuing, it says several reasons explain Americans, disastrous. America's disastrous miscalculations and Iran's success. First, American leaders, and this is an important one, and whether it's misjudged or misled, American leaders fundamentally misjudged Iran, or rather misled us on Iran, depending on how you look at it, because misjudged means they were manipulated.

Starting point is 03:20:06 So you can decide for yourself. Iran is a great civilization with 5,000 years of history, deep culture, national resilience, and pride. The Iranian government was not going to succumb to U.S. bullying and bombing, especially reflecting on the fact that Iranians remember how the U.S. destroyed Iranian democracy in 1953 by overthrowing a democratically elected government and installing a police state that lasted 27 years. It's so easy to understand these things and it's so easy to prove these things, but you get people, you go down the list, whether it's mainstream media or the mainstream alternative media, the mainstream media light. They'll shout you down for that's crazy and your let the adults talk. They don't even nuts. He was a bash.

Starting point is 03:20:46 of freedom for everybody and Iranians loved him. It's like, it's just not true. You can literally look it up everywhere. You can ask rock if you want. Everything will tell you. It was a dystopian hellhole for everybody other than the oligarch at the top. And the Savok and the military police or the, secret police, it was horrifying. And it's what they're trying to create everywhere else. And so he just simply outlined the obvious and easily proven reality. So whether he has an agenda or not, it's nice to be able to hear these statements that we can prove. And it's his second. So first was they just misjudged their abilities. Second, American leaders dramatically underestimated their technological sophistication. How many times have you heard me say this? They're not some

Starting point is 03:21:26 random people in a cave. They've got, they're wildly technologically advanced. They're advanced in most places, most parts of their culture and society. It's the truth. Third, military technology has shifted in a way that favors Iran. That's the whole drone ballistic missile point, which is what even Rubio said that we can't let them keep building. They're going to build above and we can't stop them. It's like, so you're basically saying that we have to illegally attack them because they might get too strong for us to stop? Well, that doesn't make any sense.

Starting point is 03:21:55 They're doing it illegal. It's because they bad guy. And what it means is we are the evil ones, Rubio is thinking. And so we have to take them out before they can stop us from our evil deeds. And who knows if he sees it that way, but that's what we're talking about. Fourth, the U.S. policy process has become irrational. Basically, I mean, I don't even explain that. I mean, it's just like, as he writes,

Starting point is 03:22:16 the inner circle of loyalists, the Mar-A-Lago, the Zionist influence. I mean, it is clearly not driven by America First. He says this was neither a war of necessity nor a war of choice. It was a war of whim. The underlying premise was hegemony. The United States was attempting to preserve a global dominance that it no longer possesses. And Israel was trying to establish a regional dominance that it will never have. It's a good way to say that.

Starting point is 03:22:42 The likely endgame, given all of this, is that the war will likely end with a return to something close to the status quoante, except for three new facts in the ground. So basically what the other guy was saying, but accepting the reality that this is, you know, basically the same situation, but with what we know, Iran controlling the straight and so on. First, Iran will have operational control over the straight. Second, Iran's deterrent posture will be significantly raised. Third, the U.S. long-term military presence in the Gulf will be significantly reduced. The other issues that supposedly prompted the U.S. to attack Iran, nuclear program, regional proxies, missile arsenal, will most likely be left where they are at the start of the war.

Starting point is 03:23:22 Even as the U.S. retreats, Iran will not press its advantage against his neighbors. I agree. Three reasons why, he says. First, Iran has a long-term strategic interest in cooperation with its Gulf neighbors. Not an ongoing war. Second, Iran will have no interest in restarting a war it just successfully ended. Third, Iran will be restrained if any restraint is needed by its great power patrons, Russia and China, who both desire a stable and prosperous region. Now, you can disagree with that, but even Trump is trying to make agreements with China right now. The Iranian leadership understands this clearly and will stop the fighting. And again, I argue that agree because it's just in their interest. To maintain this situation is bad for everybody.

Starting point is 03:24:06 Trump will no doubt try to depict the coming retreat as some great military, strategic victory. No such claim will be true. The truth is that Iran is far more sophisticated than the United States understood or chose to acknowledge or got lied to by Israel or lied to everybody. The decision to go to war was irrational. And the underlying technology of war has shifted against the United States. The American Empire cannot win the war against Iran at an acceptable financial, military, and political cost. For example, they could nuke the country, but of course, they would ultimately lose when it came to every other side of that. What American can regain, however, is some measure of rationality. It's time for the U.S. to end its regime

Starting point is 03:24:46 change operations and return to international law and diplomacy. You know, sort of what Tulsi Gabbard pretended she was going to bring to the table and then just sided with Trump, or like everybody else to the administration. Now, just quickly to wrap up here, just this is Salman Ahmed pointing out what the Iran foreign minister said. Basically, that Iran has proven itself to be responsible power in the region. And at the same time, we are not. not bullies, rather we are anti-bullies. Just look at our conduct. Now, again, you can argue that's them playing a role.

Starting point is 03:25:16 It still doesn't change that he's correct. Look at what they've been doing and compare it to what Trump has been doing. He says, we are the ones who launched a military campaign against America, thousands of miles away? No. Were we the ones who killed 170 innocent people in a single day? No. Are we the ones bullying Cuba, Venezuela and other countries in the Western Hemisphere?

Starting point is 03:25:38 No. Were we the ones who, during a diplomatic process, committed to such a great crime twice? No. It's more than twice when you bring in Soleimani and plenty of other examples. But it says, is attacking a country, destroying its infrastructure, and assassinating its leader and citizens of a country, an example of responsible behavior? You all know the answer. As well as my point from earlier.

Starting point is 03:26:02 This is from 16 hours ago. Oil tanker crosses the Strait of Vermous via Iran. approved route. This keeps happening day by day. It's happening more. And so what this will begin to show is that anybody who truly has a desire to go through if they want to deal with Iran will be allowed to as long as they forego their, you know, forsake their belligerent relationship with the war against Iran.

Starting point is 03:26:26 And we showed you one earlier. Here's another one. An oil tanker identified as Agios Phonoros, Phanaurios. One traveled through the strait of Burmuse on Sunday. this was yesterday. Using a route designated by Iran, so it seems to matter, and coordinating with Iran authorities. All the others that they tried to send through or just weren't paying attention or listened to Israel and the United States, that's the only issue.

Starting point is 03:26:50 They didn't follow the rules that were applied, whether you agree with them or not. And they didn't sink the ship. They didn't take the ship. They didn't kill anybody. They simply deterred them, you know, in some case, open fire with a machine gun and a missile. And they turned around. They could argue they're terrorists, but wouldn't they then sink the ship? Wouldn't they kill people?

Starting point is 03:27:07 wouldn't they steal something? No, not these kind of terrorists. That's only the good guy side of it that does that guys. So the idea here is that what we keep seeing is tankers that do go through. It says the report said the tanker transporting Iraqi oil, now in the Gulf of Oman heading towards Vietnam. Press TV reported on Tuesday that Iran has formally introduced the new system, right? So this is the point.

Starting point is 03:27:31 One of Trump's biggest concerns at the moment, in my opinion, is that the countries around the world will realize they don't, don't need him to open the strait or reopen the straight since it's already open. At least as far as Iran is concerned, it's only ever been restricted to those conducting illegal war. Now, if you got people coming through that aren't even going to Iran's port, the point is that the only thing stopping that if they engage with Iran and are not fighting them is Trump's blockade. So if suddenly his blockade starts stopping ships that have nothing to do with them, which I think has already happened to a certain degree, it'll become more

Starting point is 03:28:03 more obvious, these people are being stopped by not Iran. I think it's worth noticing that. And this will only then continue to accent or rather tighten the, you know, financial news, if you will, around the U.S. and Israel situation. And everybody else will slowly get back to normal. I think that's that this has been their calculus from the beginning. That's why they didn't shut the straight. They didn't put mines in the straight.

Starting point is 03:28:25 They simply stopped them. And it was very well thought out. Now, Jeremy Scale points out, you know, the statement more, you don't even know who's in charge. It's in a third regime. No, like I said, anybody paying attention knew.

Starting point is 03:28:40 It was the son who was put in power right afterward, and it very quickly fell in the place. CNN says U.S. intelligence assesses. Now, on the 8th anyway, that Iran's new supreme leader is playing a critical role in shaping the war strategy

Starting point is 03:28:54 alongside officials. Oh, really? And as Cahill rightly makes fun of, he goes first he was possibly dead, then severely wounded, then he was not in a position of authority. Then Iran was in discus, Array. Now he's playing a critical role.

Starting point is 03:29:05 Right. There was other examples, too. What was one that he was what was it? There was some other thing. Oh, he was gay for a second. Then he was something. All these weird arguments they were making and the blockade is working. Excuse me. I start again. It goes, first he was dead, then he was wounded. Then he was not in authority. Then was disarray. Now he's playing crucial role. He said, they said the blockade is working. Now we have project freedom. Now we don't. That's Trump again. See kind of the back and forth. J.D. is on his way to Islamabad. No, it's Stephen Jared. No one is no. The point is

Starting point is 03:29:33 they've been lying to us the whole time about everything. They aren't control or they've no, you know, however you want to read it, the point is that what they've been saying has been false and we can prove that. I'm of the mind that he has been misleading us because he's desperate in combination with him being misled from Netanyahu. This is whatever this account is showing Netanyahu openly, openly, for like the third time pushing for strikes on their energy infrastructure in Iran.

Starting point is 03:30:00 And this is all come out now that they basically agreed to this because they want to collapse the country. Israeli media is saying do that because even if we lose, at least we'll paralyze Iran. The people, you understand, not the government, the people. Mark Levin says, let's go, get this done. Yeah, and I said, you're an effing monster. Like, I mean, we know this already, but my God, guys, this, these, think about having this position. And this guy's saying, basically go do something illegal.

Starting point is 03:30:30 There is no world in which saying, bomb their energy in. infrastructure is not a crime. Mark Levin says, yes, go murder those innocent people. Yes, go commit an international war crime. Let's get this done. This guy's a monster, guys. These are belligerent, dangerous sociopathic type people. What else would you say?

Starting point is 03:30:53 Read the comments. Now, one thing I want to include, if this has been going around, I'll follow up on it. IRGC-linked media calls for fees on undersea internet. cables. Now, what did you get? All of the usual suspects screaming online idiots who came out and said, what's just happening? They're doing it. And Iran's going to hold this hostage for their cable and maybe. More Logan and everybody. Everyone is all the same stuff now that I keep seeing. The point is it's far as I can tell because I did by due diligence and we will follow in the story

Starting point is 03:31:21 is that this is coming from a media platform that says that. And I haven't found any evidence that is happening or that the IRC or the Iranian government intend to do it. Isn't that funny how that stuff works? Now, if it continues to develop and we see some action here, it'll be important because this situation could affect a lot of people. Now, ask yourself, why would it be in the interest of a government who wants you to think Iran is affecting everyone in the world, but they're not? What would be the interest from a government like that to make you think that they might cut undersea internet cables or manipulate them? You know, I don't know, the same exact thing. Iran's going to affect the whole world if we let them do that. Well, you might just be making stuff up too.

Starting point is 03:32:01 kind of like you've been doing the whole time. I'm not going to say it's out of the problem of possibility. I can see a world in which this might happen. I just think it's important to question whether it is because we've been lied to our entire lives from these people, but we'll see. Again, my argument would be that doing this would only hurt what Iran is trying to accomplish.

Starting point is 03:32:18 Just recognize that my point is it's unverified. There seems to be nothing but one platform saying that. It is an Iranian element. And then you've got all of the people who have been lying through Trump's narratives, like the Nix Orders, who came out and screamed that argument. Doesn't that make you a little suspicious? It should. BBC. Trump says Iran ceasefire is on massive life support. That's today. So after all of that, after the fact that we can, this is what's so embarrassing, there is no ceasefire.

Starting point is 03:32:45 There hasn't been since it started. It didn't exist. He's breaking the rules by keeping the brocade because that's an act of war. Israel's bombing Lebanon, which is literally cited by Iran as a violation of the ceasefire. And he's the one telling you that they better or not. And then he's, he says the ceasefire is still going. It's on life support. This is just becoming more weak and desperate by the moment. Iran will tell. That doesn't exist.

Starting point is 03:33:10 But Trump wants you to believe it's still there. We barely hanging on. President Trump said the month-long ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran is on massive life support. He told the Oval Office on Monday that while the ceasefire remained, it's unbelievably weak. Yeah, that is unbelievably weak. It's very weak.

Starting point is 03:33:26 Very, very pathetic to pretend that something's in place while you, you violate it because you are losing. I mean, think about that. Down here it says, that piece of garbage they sent us, I didn't even finish reading it. That is how weak this person is. Oh, you mean the thing that we all know you read because it was sent to you that said they refused your agreement? If you didn't read it, then how do you know they turned you down? He's such a coward.

Starting point is 03:33:50 Like, that is such a weak thing to do. Why wouldn't you just turn around and go Iran doesn't want peace? They yet again turned it down. That would even be effective for some people. Instead, you're so small that you have to go, I can't even read it. And you turned down an opportunity to turn it against them because you had to look like the one in control. That's why I think he's being used in a lot of ways because that's what drives him. Remember, guys, in case you missed the earlier part of the show, Iran responded even according to Israeli media and said, no, we're not agreeing to what you put forward.

Starting point is 03:34:22 And then that gets sent through Pakistan to Trump. And he stands up and goes totally unacceptable. I turn it down. I turn down your refusal of my plan. My God, that's just embarrassing. Like, this is why he's getting made fun of on every show. It's just like, this is sad. The Cabici letter says Iran Speaker,

Starting point is 03:34:43 Parliament releases a statement after President Trump says, the ceasefires on life support. Here's what Iran said. Our armed forces are ready to deliver a well-deserved response to any aggression. Mistaken strategy and mistaken decisions will always lead to mistaken results. The whole world has already figured this out.

Starting point is 03:35:00 We are prepared for all options. They will be surprised. I mean, how much longer can you keep playing this one-sided game? It's like Trump is playing a game of tennis by himself. How do you keep this going? They just, they're laughing at you every time you make these statements and it just keeps going. I think it's crazy. And of course, even more embarrassing are the ridiculous clowns that follow Trump and keep screaming the things he says,

Starting point is 03:35:22 even though it keeps being shown to be wrong. Trump again today comes up and says, I've told Iran told me that they intend to give us nuclear dust. He just said that today. Now, as I've said every time, I guess it could be true. Maybe tomorrow we'll find out. Maybe Iran finally said, you know what? Fine. We'll give you that.

Starting point is 03:35:42 They'll still win. They'll still get everything if that's the key. But Trump could pretend he got the dust or whatever. I still don't think that's true. So he responds like, oh, well, the president did it. He's the best and he's going to win because that's what these guys are paid to do, apparently. Or worse, they're not. That's even more embarrassing.

Starting point is 03:35:58 But here's what these people keep saying. The comments are full of this kind of stuff. So quickly, just see you see it. Bottom line, as he said, they agreed to give me the dust. He says, but you're going to have to take it out because the site's so obliterated, the whole thing he keeps doing. So we talked it out and they said, you're going to have to come and take it. Oh, that's what they said.

Starting point is 03:36:15 Did they Iran and said, yeah, you're going to have to come in and just build it, bring in troops and get it because that's totally okay. That totally makes sense, doesn't it? What a clown. I mean, maybe he's being lied to by Israel. I just don't know why he would believe it at this point. So this person says, stop negotiations. They, Iran, don't abide by any deals.

Starting point is 03:36:35 They use them to buy time. The Islamic regime execute people. Okay. So despite the facts, right, despite the easily verifiable evidence that you can look simply by virtue of time that Trump has lied to you, what people believe because they only listen to Eric and Trump, I would argue, is what Trump says, right? So if you only listen to this ridiculous show, you're walking away going,

Starting point is 03:36:57 man, Iran lies every time. Every time Trump says we're close and then Iran says no. Okay, man. Why would they do that? Why would Iran go, we agree and then go, never mind. That's not true. I guess to make, okay, even further, maybe you're making it crazy. Why would then Trump keep thinking they're agreeing if every time they say yes and then pretend not to?

Starting point is 03:37:18 How long can you actually pretend that this statement isn't ridiculous? Right. The idea that somehow they do, they lie and deny to buy time. time for what? To what end? If that's the case, why does Trump keep doing it? 17 times in a row. I mean, my point is, this is just a bot, a lie, or just the most shocking example of willful

Starting point is 03:37:39 ignorance I've ever seen. That apparently every time they're just lying and they're getting time, and every time Trump can all give them more time, or they better not. God, it's embarrassing. So Robert A. Pape comes out and says, credible analysis shows Iran has plutonium for 200 weapons. Yeah, this is still happening. This is in addition to enriched uranium that has been focused of Trump's negotiations. Oh, you mean the 60% of the thousand pounds that was within the agreement that was not in any risk of becoming a bomb? Yeah, that, okay. It says Iran rapidly

Starting point is 03:38:09 emerges the fourth world power. Nuclear Iran is coming soon. Oops, except not, though. This cited analysis refers to plutonium contained in unprocessed spent fuel at their reactor. Iran lacks the capability to extract it. It has no operational pre-processing facility. And, the International Atomic Energy Agency verifies no ongoing reprocessing. Yeah, so you're a liar, Pape, like the rest of you. Or at the very least, you're taking at face value what this random account says from insiders from the U.S. government. Two, I've been lying about everything, you know, so either way you look at it.

Starting point is 03:38:42 I mean, it just doesn't get old, does it? It's just nonstop. So reality being, the amount they have is within the agreements. That's the reality. And it is ridiculously far away because, one, they don't have a facility to further enrich it, let alone the time would take to get. to 90 from 60, which would then make the material needed to make the pieces to make the bomb, and then make the bomb itself, which would be too big to move.

Starting point is 03:39:03 We've gone through all this. But then he just goes, well, that's there, but we've been hyping that the whole time as the end all be all. It's all going to be, okay, but now since you guys have shown us that's false, we'll put that aside. It's not even that one, though. It's this one over here. It's another analysis that they have plutonium for 200 bombs.

Starting point is 03:39:21 Okay, well, then why would you need to make the new story if the other one was just that, you get it, because it's called, it's a, it's a, mission creep narrative kind of thing, he's also wrong. It just doesn't stop. Now, Ron, Speaker of Parliament and Chief Negotiator says the longer it takes to accept the rights of the Iranian people, the more American taxpayers will pay for it. Now, you could very well argue that this is not about the rights of the Iranian people, but the interests of the Iranian government, and that would be fair.

Starting point is 03:39:50 And who's to say, I can't speak for the Iranian people? If anybody could, it would probably be the government that would represent them. I would argue that no government ever really does that. They don't represent people. They represent their interests that they may align with people. My point, though, is that outside of that, we have no understanding or rather right to speak on behalf of the intentions of the Iranian people. So all that aside, the point is that if this keeps going, you, America, will pay for it.

Starting point is 03:40:18 Taxes, gas prices, which we already see, which they already promised wouldn't happen. And so all Iran is saying directly to you is you stop them from doing. doing what we all know is illegal. What everyone can see is their fault, what they keep lying about, or this is only going to get worse. And that will be their fault. Same is pretty simple. Now, just to quickly go through these, because these are all just examples to end, I just want to make sure you saw about Lebanon and Gaza and the West Bank. Sarah Abdullah, same thing.

Starting point is 03:40:42 They're using white phosphorus because they've done that a thousand times in every location. They've ever been involved in. I can literally just type white. And it immediately comes up from 2023, Israel, white phosphorus used in Gaza, Lebanon. It's not new. guys. It's been documented a thousand times over. It just doesn't matter. At least to the people that have ability to stop them. And so yet again in Lebanon, currently using white phosphorus to bomb civilian locations because that's what Israel does. I showed you earlier, BBC News has no

Starting point is 03:41:11 the uncanny ability to ignore the idea of what a ceasefire is and claim that no matter what Israel does, somehow the ceasefire continues. They strike Beirut, middle of a civilian location, but you know, ceasefire. Same thing over here because, you know, kills children, but, you know, she says, is that going to violate a ceasefire? Is that possible? Susan Abuawala points out during the ceasefire, in quotes, as she writes, the colonial Jewish supremacist entity, destroyed 140,000 acres of Lebanese farmland, roughly the size of Chicago, killed over 1.8 million poultry livestock. This is the same thing they do everywhere. This is what they did in Gaza. it's what they're destroying a civilization for their interests.

Starting point is 03:41:58 Number three, destroyed irrigation networks and other facilities use for food. Number four, they uprooted tens of thousands of acres of fruit trees, especially banana and olive. Five, displaced nearly 80% of Lebanese farmers in the South. Number six, destroyed more than 29,000 beehives. Seven, destroyed aquaculture, more than 2,000 tons of fish. They're destroying Lebanon's ability to feed itself. Sound familiar? should.

Starting point is 03:42:25 So far, they've killed 2,727 people wounded almost 8,500. Nothing new, guys. It's been going on a long time. Hopefully we can actually stop it this time as they continue to destroy another civilization and your U.S. government funds it. Drop site news. Israel killed 51 people in Lebanon just in the last 24 hours. That post was from the day before.

Starting point is 03:42:47 That's current. Every day, every single day, murdering innocent civilians all across Lebanon. Ron Yacalli points out, the Israeli Army's chief of staff confirmed that military operations continue on the northern front. And Israel, their commander on the 10th of May, said, quote, there is no ceasefire in Lebanon. Except there is, though, they keep telling us. Not a joke. Both Israel and the U.S. government, when they speak to corporate media, well, the ceasefire holds, as BBC was just telling you. but Israel's own military says what ceasefire?

Starting point is 03:43:24 That's how this goes. And, you know, the same thing that violates the Iranian conversation. Yeah, that's the same point. It's very clear they don't care. And your government knows they don't care. And they still lie to you about it. Israel has killed 470 people in Lebanon since this so-called ceasefire went to fat. Caitlin Johnstone says it's downright poetic all the different words Reuters, editors can find to avoid saying violated a ceasefire.

Starting point is 03:43:48 testing fragile ceasefire expanded scope despite ceasefire Beirut for the first time bombs since the ceasefire attacks in Lebanon strain the ceasefire pathetic here is Smotrich the finance minister says the war must end with changing the borders of the state of Israel in Gaza Lebanon Syria and the course the West Bank right all the things we keep telling you

Starting point is 03:44:16 of course we get called racist for pointing out because it's totally not true, but you're small towards literally telling you that it's happening. What a racist, right? Apparently, this is the Greater Israel Project, just like the Greater North American Project. It's all part of the same conversation, guys. Arsul Rod says this seems important, so naturally legacy media ignores it. She points out, the UN says Israel's forcibly displaced 40,000 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank since 2025.

Starting point is 03:44:45 Nobody talks about that. Ethnic cleansing out in the open for everyone to see. we're supposed to think this is normal. Israel condemns EU sanctions applied to West Bank settlers. You know, the settlers that are raping and burning houses down and burning babies alive, all of which has literally happened. The UN will talk about it. And the point is the EU sanctioning them because this has been the element that everyone has been allowed to criticize.

Starting point is 03:45:09 Oh, no, it's those ev those bills. It's that weird group of settlers. They're crazy. Okay, well, the EU goes, we'll sanction them because they're current people. No, Israel says no, arbitrary, political. Can't do that. Oh, I get it. So you support the crazies that you try to shuck off your, yeah, get it.

Starting point is 03:45:25 Of course, every single time these people go out and burn houses down and beat old women to death, you have IDF soldiers right next to them. Occupation forces, willing to shoot people to do so. I've pledged you videos constantly. And no, this didn't start on October 7th. Guys, going on for its entire existence. I can show you videos of them sniping children standing in the field years before October 7. But no, see, they don't care.

Starting point is 03:45:49 Guys, this is about trying to pretend they care. Now, here is Israel just carried out the terrorist attack in Gaza. And she says, notice that Western media doesn't actually bother to talk about Gaza ceasefire anymore. Don't forget, they're supposed to be a ceasefire in Gaza. They've been bombing and killing and moving those lines every day. People just ignore it now, guys. Doctors out borders, just casually talking about the devastating impact of the manufactured

Starting point is 03:46:15 starvation crisis. It doesn't matter. though. Nasex, 2026. Doctors, the borders who were bombed by Israel telling you they're starving these people. Funny, it doesn't matter, you know?

Starting point is 03:46:29 It's funny how that doesn't matter in this world. Okay, 12-year-old girl, Courtney, I don't know, pronounce my last name, Bono Images. She says, what does terrorism mean to you? If it's not a double-tap, killing a paramedics, journalists, and today a 12-year-old girl, then what is?

Starting point is 03:46:46 We talked about the story already. Update the 12-year-old girl that she mentioned in the story was hunted down by Israeli drones, has died from injuries. Just another Tuesday in Gaza, as Ryan Grimm points out, Israel drone traced and struck a man on a scooter with his 12-year-old daughter, killing the father. A little girl ran, wounded, ran, and was hunted by the drone and struck again. She succumbed to her wounds. I mean, that's not even a comment needed, guys. This is the kind of evil that we're all fighting. And if you are actually of the mind that this isn't happening, if you still

Starting point is 03:47:22 pretend we haven't seen an endless procession of them praising and posting and dancing and highlighting this exact kind of thing, then you are not a part of this conversation. You're either so blind or so dishonest or so stupid that you haven't come to terms with the most obvious thing we've ever seen in our lives. Frankly, I don't think that exists. I think everyone has come to terms with this, save for a very small percentage of people, and then you get gaslit by a bunch of screaming Zionist sociopaths and the politicians they fund in your life.

Starting point is 03:47:53 This is who we're fighting, whoever it is around the world. This person points out, Iab Hassan says, this is the photo of the same area before it was wiped out by the Israeli army. Keep telling us about those pinpoint targeted bombings

Starting point is 03:48:08 and all the different things you were taking out. Here is a town in Gaza, Palestine. Here's what it looks like now. Of course, with their new little bunker, they built right in the middle. an aerial photo of con Eunice reveals an apocalyptic scene. Remember, that was supposed to be the area they went to to be safe.

Starting point is 03:48:26 Remember that? Con Eunice was the safe spot? Of course, they bombed them there the whole time. And that's what it looks like. Look at that, guys. That's a civilization. That's flat. Here's another example.

Starting point is 03:48:40 Daniel Lambert points out, Rafa, a city a thousand years old. A picture from 2022 and today. 22, today. 2022 today. Didn't even need, there's no misunderstanding that, guys. This was the West's red line.

Starting point is 03:49:02 Rafa would not be attacked. Remember that? And still no action. Zero sanctions. Zero arrests. They actually armed them. We've seen this many times, this horrifying apocalyptic scene

Starting point is 03:49:15 of innocent Palestinian people scrambling through the desert, looking for food and the dirt while they're shot at and bombed by Israel. If that doesn't, scar you, then you're not a human being. This is what we're dealing with, is people that can look away,

Starting point is 03:49:29 ignore the human suffering because of a political agenda. I don't believe that's the majority of people. As Sa'aid, Saeed Mohammed Morandi points out that genocide is ongoing. May 8th, heavy Israel bombardment in Gaza. Yeah, ceasefire. Of course, Israel comes out on the 10th and says today, on International Mother's Day,

Starting point is 03:49:51 we celebrate the women whose love, whose love, shapes, families, communities, and generations, and whatever disgusting thing they said after that. Of course, two mothers killed each hour in Gaza conflict, according to the U.N. Yeah, keep telling us Israel how you care about women and mothers as you kill two mothers every hour in Gaza. That's not a joke. The amount of children.

Starting point is 03:50:12 It's just, it's cradle rise. 30 U.S. lawmakers demand transparency on Israel's nuclear arsenal. Now, I'm going to keep an eye on this. I doubt this. I've got a sense this is just almost a. deflection. The idea, guys, is that everyone in the world knows that Israel's got nuclear weapons. Now, the only country in the world that literally has a thing called nuclear ambiguity. And they just get a lot. And they're the ones telling you Iran can't have the thing that we

Starting point is 03:50:37 pretend we don't have. Everyone knows it. He's been, he's actually casually admitted it by accident like four times that I've seen. So now you got U.S. members of Congress going, hey, we demand that we acknowledge this. And it just probably not going to happen. But just think of what it shows you. I don't think those congressmen are even in our interest. like they're probably just for their own benefit. Either way, at the end of the day, even with that acknowledgement, this is still going to be pushed back on.

Starting point is 03:51:00 That's what I think anyway. But it shows you a schism between power structures that see Zionism control versus not. That's what I would see to a degree. Jasper Nathaniel points out to this report that came out from the UN, what's going on in Gaza and elsewhere because of Israel, the thread with some of the most unspeakably depraved acts of rape and sexual assault by Israel,

Starting point is 03:51:22 Israelis against Palestinians detailed in this piece. New York Times, the silence that meets the rape of Palestinians. Think about all that we were told about the rape of people in Gaza. All the arguments of October 7th, every one of them were false in regard to the rape of anybody. Every one of them. And if you still don't know that, I'm telling you, you're choosing to ignore that. The UN told you that. The woman in the gray pants, and they said the one they use in all the billboards,

Starting point is 03:51:51 she was home or she is home, and she said that didn't happen. But what I almost can hear in my mind is there's people out there going, that's not true, even though she said it herself. You know, it's insane. So the point is that in this article, it will go through exactly that. How is Palestinians were forcibly raped by dogs, by guards, by any number of people. Because they were Palestinian. One of the disgusting quotes,

Starting point is 03:52:15 some men had to have their testicles amputated by doctors after the beatings. Sid Tiamen was a location that was publicly acknowledged. They debated on live TV why they should have the right to rape Palestinians. And yet we still had to debate about what we're dealing with. As she writes, Asha writes, Asha writes, the genocide has not ended. It's just stopped trending. Israelis killed at least three Palestinians in Gaza, two members of what I say, including two members of the Hamas-run police force, health officials said that was on May 10th.

Starting point is 03:52:48 State of Palestine. Israel ethnically cleanses anything in anyone Palestinian even the dead. Reuters, Israeli settlers, the ones they just stopped the EU from sanctioning, forced Palestinian family

Starting point is 03:53:03 to exhume their father's body from a freshly dug grave in the occupied West Bank, claiming the cemetery land as part of their settlement. Yeah, you know, the settlement that was Palestinian that they stole because that's what this is about.

Starting point is 03:53:17 This is what we're dealing with. This is evil. Evil. But apparently this is what Hegset is fighting Armageddon for Israel. Now, Tamir writes to end, one of the most horrifying things happening in Gaza right now, something the world barely knows about, is that we are now trapped inside an area no larger than 133 square kilometers out of Gaza's original, 336 square kilometers. More than 2 million people are crowded into this tiny suffocating space, creating one of the

Starting point is 03:53:52 highest population densities in the world literally. Now, it's a lot less than that if we understand what's actually happened. But the point is highlighting that these people have been pressed into the smallest, tiniest area for, you know, the entire, I mean, first of all, the civilization we're talking about was crammed into gods in the first place, in an open air president and kept there. And the point is now we've watched these people get passed around to a smaller and smaller area. And these are the people they were supposed to be fighting for.

Starting point is 03:54:22 Did we forget that? It's about the Hamas, evil terrorists. We want to save the Palestinians. Well, we're still, they're still, they're still saving them over there with bombs and rape and torture, just like they were saving them before. It's just important to understand what we're actually fighting to understand who we're actually fighting here. And it's not just about Israel or Zionism alone. It's about anybody that believes that's acceptable, whether you're Jewish or Muslim or Christian or whatever it is, guys. All of that kind of fanaticism is the enemy of this conversation.

Starting point is 03:54:53 And the problem is you have the same fanatics who are saying just that kind of fanatic, just the ones that believe in that version. They're the problem as we bring in some kind of end times prophecy that will destroy our country. But, you know, they're the problem. They very well may be. The point is anybody that goes to that extreme level is a problem, is not on your side. But we'll leave it there today, guys. I think the important reality here is that this is something people see.

Starting point is 03:55:21 It is obvious today. people see it just like you do and like with COVID it wasn't something only you saw you just were told that people were convinced they were the only ones so they didn't speak out and I think we're well past that at this point but just in case you need to hear it because you're making a difference right now by simply being here talking about this continuing to drive the conversation drive awareness to what's actually happening they're floundering I'd like to believe this will end in something that is you know de-escalation but it very well may go the other direction And so at the end of the day, it's important that everyone sees what's happening.

Starting point is 03:55:56 So, God forbid, if this goes in some dramatic situation, we're not all completely taken off guard by some, you know, that's what always seems to happen, right? Some jarring event that's used to emotionally drive us in a certain direction. I think right now a lot of people are on guard. And so if it does, unfortunately happen, I think less people will fall for it. But hopefully because of your efforts out there, this will go a different direction. and they will try again and they will try again and we'll be here ready to call it out thank you for tuning in today guys i love you all if you want to support this platform down below there's plenty of links to do so we put this out for free because we believe in the work if it matters to you if you find value

Starting point is 03:56:37 in it let us know what it's worked to you i love you all as always question everything come to your own conclusions stay vigilant
